A third straight loss deepens scrutiny of Sandro Wagner after more defensive lapses.

Overview

  • Kaishu Sano opened the scoring on 14 minutes before Dominik Kohr doubled the lead on 26.
  • Kohr was sent off with a second yellow in the 53rd minute after earlier receiving his 100th Bundesliga booking, yet Mainz added through Paul Nebel and Armindo Sieb.
  • Samuel Essende pulled one back on 83 minutes for Augsburg, who were outplayed even with a man advantage.
  • The victory is Mainz’s first league win of the season, lifting them to four points, while Augsburg remain on three after a third successive defeat.
  • Augsburg’s error-strewn defending drew whistles from home fans as Sandro Wagner made four halftime changes, with pressure mounting before a trip to Heidenheim.
