Running the show with full gusto, Mainz bagged a triumphant score of 5-2, legitimately dominating every facet of the game play bringing forth an balanced and meticulous all-round display.

Efforts of players such as J. S.

Karim, in particular, stood out by scoring a hat trick with quite remarkable assists from Anthony Caci, L. B. Martins, and Aymen Barkok. The well-timed and efficient assists played a pivotal role in enhancing the number of goals, thereby significantly influencing the match's final result.

Taking a look at shooting statistics, Mainz showed precision, with 7 shots on target out of 14 attempts. Bochum, in contrast, managed only 4 shots on target despite having 14 attempts.
