Borussia Monchengladbach – FSV Mainz 05 0-1
The away team shot out of the starting blocks and was almost accurate twice in the first ten minutes. Yann Sommer kept his team in the game twice by making a save on shots from Silvan Widmer and Leandro Barreiro. Jonathan Burkardt also fired on the Swiss goalkeeper’s goal, but his volley went just wide. Marcus Thuram of Borussia Mönchengladbach saw his shot from close range then blocked by Robin Zentner, making the halftime score 0-0. Shortly after the break, the home team had to continue with ten men after Ko Itakura was sent off with a red card. The free kick that followed was then fantastically shot in by Aarón Martín: 0-1.
