Mainz stunned Borussia Dortmund with a 3-0 win at the Mewa Arena in the Bundesliga, extending their unbeaten run to eight games and crucially moving Die Nullfünfer above the relegation play-off place.Dortmund made 10 changes after booking their place in the UEFA Champions League final in midweek, and it certainly told in the first half. Nadiem Amiri rattled the crossbar with an early free-kick before three goals in 10 minutes remarkably put Mainz well ahead, with Leandro Barreiro tapping home his fourth goal this season to open the scoring after Silvan Widmer found him with a neat cutback.Lee Jae-sung then added a quick-fire brace, first capitalising on a horror pass out from Alexander Meyer before slotting in another cutback from the right-hand side. Mateu Morey, who was having a nightmare defensively, came closest to pulling a goal back for Die Schwarzgelben, but his curling effort was well-saved by Robin Zentner, leaving the visitors three goals behind at the break.Edin Terzić made three halftime changes, bringing on some of the regular cavalry in an attempt to claw back the deficit, and they thought they pulled one back seven minutes into the second half. Youssoufa Moukoko barely had a sniff in the opening period, but tucked the ball away with a tidy finish, only for the goal to be ruled out for offside.🇩🇪 Dortmund will finish 5th in Bundesliga!🚨 Due to this, if Dortmund win the Champions League, 6th placed team from the Bundesliga will enter the Champions League!- Eintracht Frankfurt will most likely finish 6th, with Hoffenheim still having mathematical chances. pic.twitter.com/TM5GFFiTK7— Football Rankings (@FootRankings) May 11, 2024 Ultimately, Bo Henriksen’s Mainz had done the damage in the first half, and there was hardly any goalmouth action at either end in the latter stages as Dortmund failed to find an answer, abruptly ending their six-match winning streak at the Mewa Arena. Still, they will finish in fifth place and look forward to Champions League football again next season, while it is clear their minds are on their upcoming final against Real Madrid.BUNDESLIGA – MATCHDAY 33FridayAugsburg – Stuttgart 0-1 (0-0)/Guirassy 48/SaturdayRB Leipzig – Werder 1-1 (0-1)/Sesko 61 – Seiwald 35 og/Freiburg – Heidenheim 1-1 (1-1)/Doan 29 – Sessa 38/Koln – Union Berlin 3-2 (1-2)/Kainz 45 pen, TIgges 88, Downs 90+3 – Knoche 15, Volland 19 pen/M’ gladbach – Eintr.Frankfurt 1-1 (1-1)/Hack 9 – Dina Ebimbe 35/Mainz – Dortmund 3-0 (3-0)/Barreiro 12, Lee 19, 23/Sunday16:30: Darmstadt – Hoffenheim18:30: (1.37) Bayern (5.10) Wolfsburg (7.75)20:30: (4.40) Bochum (4.25) Leverkusen (1.70)***odds are subject to change***
