"Foals striker Haris Tabaković's header would more likely have resulted in a throw-in than a goal celebration for Borussia. However, his attempt with just under an hour on the clock rebounded off Mainz defender Danny da Costa's bottom and ended up in the back of the net. Instead of a hard-fought point, the 1-0 home defeat for the bottom side was sealed - true to the motto: if you're not lucky, you're unlucky."
"It means Bayern's upcoming opponents Mainz will head to Munich with a negative run of nine Bundesliga games without a win. Since their 4-1 victory against FC Augsburg in mid-September (Matchday 4), the Zero-fivers have picked up just two points, and their meagre haul of six points with nine defeats after 13 matchdays is also synonymous with the worst record in the club's Bundesliga history."
"Despite already being five points off the relegation play-off spot, there is hope that Fischer will be able to keep the team in the league. "There are still 21 games and a lot of points to play for. Mainz are familiar with this situation and have survived it once already," explained the new boss during his unveiling. The 59-year-old's composure for the difficult rescue mission"
A freak own-goal after a Haris Tabaković header condemned Mainz to a 1-0 home defeat, underscoring a run of misfortune. Mainz have gone nine Bundesliga games without a win and have just six points from 13 matchdays, marking the worst start in the club's Bundesliga history. Bo Henriksen was dismissed after earlier successes, with U23 coach Benjamin Hoffmann serving as interim. Swiss coach Urs Fischer has been appointed as the new head coach ahead of the Munich trip. Fischer emphasized there are 21 games and many points available, aiming to steer the club clear of relegation.
