Freiburg clearly beats Mainz: 3-0 and zero shots on goal for the guests!

On November 30, 2025, SC Freiburg and FSV Mainz 05 met in the SC Stadium. In this encounter, the omens were not good for Mainz. Coach Bo Henriksen's team had already failed to win seven games in a row and had slipped to last place in the Bundesliga table. The players also suffered a bitter defeat against TSG Hoffenheim on Thursday, while Freiburg managed to gain a point from a Europa League game. A tough challenge for Mainz, who had to compete today without their regular goalkeeper Zentner.

As kicker.at reports, the game was a challenge for Mainz from the start. The early deficit came from a header own goal by Andreas Hanche-Olsen in the 9th minute. Freiburg took advantage of this uncertainty and put Mainz under pressure. Freiburg dominated the action until half-time and was already leading 3-0 after 45 minutes, while Mainz hadn't fired a single shot on goal until then.

Set the pace

Freiburg clearly dominated the game and set the pace. After Hanche-Olsen scored the own goal, SC Freiburg further extended their lead with goals from Kübler (14th minute) and Grifo (24th minute). In the 57th minute, Manzambi increased the score to 3-0 after a successful one-two. Mainz, who had been outnumbered since the 28th minute, didn't make things easy for Freiburg despite controlling the game. In the second half, however, the game continued to favor SC Freiburg.

In the 70th minute, Mainz tried to get back into the game through a corner, but without success. The FSV continued to push for a goal in the rest of the season, but remained harmless offensively. Thanks to a change in tactics from coach Henriksen, who changed positions for the first time, a certain increase in stability was noticed. Nevertheless, it should be noted that Mainz reached its performance limits in this game.

A look at the league

Mainz's situation has worsened further after today's defeat. The Bundesliga statistics page shows a clear picture: points scored and last place in the table, without a win in seven games. The players will be challenged creatively to get out of this slump. The next matches urgently need to go better if the team doesn't want to get stuck in the relegation battle.

For a change, Mainz also received a red card when Dominik Kohr had to leave the field in the 88th minute after a foul on Max Moerstedt. This unnecessary foul highlighted the frustration and difficulties the team is currently experiencing.

The coming weeks will be crucial for Mainz. It remains to be hoped that the coach and his players can turn things around and finally get back on the road to success. The fans are eagerly waiting for positive news.
