Two Bundesliga sides had their own mini Englische Woche tonight, as Mainz and Borussia Dortmund clashed in what was a deferred Matchday 25 fixture that was due ...

The most unlikely of scorers was on the end of it as Axel Witsel scuffed an unorthodox shot over the outstretched Zentner for 0-1. Just as the game seemed destined for a draw, it was Marco Rose’s charges who made the breakthrough. Haaland replaced Wolf not long after, but the game was very short of chances right up to the hour mark. Papela dispossessed Witsel as the game neared closing stages and the youngster had a go from range but failed to trouble Kobel. Stoger was involved again in taking a short corner to Stach who whipped an effort narrowly wide of the left hand upright. Both sides enjoyed early spells of possession in the opening 15 minutes - visitors Dortmund with the bulk of the ball time, yet interestingly neither team had taken a shot on goal to this point. Die Schwarzgelben’s first real effort on target came in the 68th minute. Dahoud, who gave away the foul, picked up his 5th yellow card of the season and thus will miss the game vs Koln this weekend. A free kick just before the break from Kevin Stoger was probably the closest either side came to breaking the deadlock.

Witsel was also booked in injury time, for a tactical foul, before Reyna drew a great save from Robin Zentner with another free kick. But the game itself had few highlights as it was punctuated by many fouls, niggles and disagreements.

After returning from a three-week injury layoff Sunday in a 1–0 win over Arminia, Reyna came off the bench in the 69th minute against Mainz. With Dortmund tied in a goalless deadlock in the 87th minute, Reyna stepped up to take a free kick and found Axel Witsel at the back post for what wound up being the game-winning goal. It didn’t take Gio Reyna long to make an impact upon his return from injury as the Borussia Dortmund winger set up the match-winner against Mainz on Wednesday.
