Mainz Fall 0–1 to Leipzig as Amiri Blasts Team’s Toothless Attack

Burkardt’s summer exit to Frankfurt removed last season’s 18-goal finisher, exposing a glaring void up front.

Overview

  • FSV Mainz 05 lost 0:1 at home to RB Leipzig, leaving the club on one point from three Bundesliga matches.
  • Mainz have scored only once this season, a penalty in a 1:1 draw at Wolfsburg.
  • Nadiem Amiri told DAZN he was "very down" and criticized what he sees as a missing desire to score.
  • Amiri urged practicing set sequences and more penalty-area actions to improve the final pass and finishing.
  • The team lacks a natural goalscorer following Jonathan Burkardt’s move to Eintracht Frankfurt; he netted 18 league goals last season.
