00:00:00On that little bit extra
00:00:04Very much so
00:00:07Unstoppable the header
00:00:10from Emily Chan doubles Dortmund's delights
00:00:17Powerful header and a two nil leads
00:00:21That's a little better. He almost smiled there Nikko Kovac
00:00:26almost
00:00:30Not many players have managed to score past Robin Settner this season
00:00:40That's a beautiful delivery Nikko Schlotterbeck
00:00:45Hits the right area
00:00:49It's drilled in with pace so Emre Can he just needs to connect he doesn't have to give pace to the ball
00:00:55He steals that in that's what he Booker does what he can as well
00:01:02It's it's an awkward one to defend and Emre Can
00:01:07Is always going to be in the
00:01:11Preferable position
00:01:13You cannot play a corner much better than Nikko Schlotterbeck did there
00:01:23A little foul there, but so yeah chance header was was was great
00:01:26He did really well to get that going in the direction he wanted it to
00:01:31Kudos to him as well
00:01:33Kudos to him as well
00:01:39Dropping like nine pins today out there
00:01:42Two nil that's got the yellow wall bouncing
00:01:46Well, might's looking to get something back after
00:01:59Now Mainz looking to get something back after going two goals down.
00:02:15They need to score the next goal, otherwise it's going to be very difficult.
00:02:18If you look now at the gap up to Leipzig, it's only five points.
00:02:27Well, four points even.
00:02:29Oops, I'll just get my maths right, it's five points to Gladbach.
00:02:46Booker was caught there and the referee is waving all protests aside.
00:03:03And I think that that is okay.
00:03:10I think you can deem that as dangerous play.
00:03:13Five yellow cards for the season.
00:03:16Now that means he misses the next one.
00:03:18An away game against Freiburg.
00:03:30The other player they have, of course, is Rami Benzavaini, who's also on the bench today.
00:03:34He could play in that position.
00:03:35Amiri's ball is going to be left by Gregor Corbett.
00:03:47No threat at all.
00:03:47Now we see the first goal.
00:03:59And here the second.
00:04:01I'm liking the second, the more I see it.
00:04:07Yes.
00:04:08Cyril Gerasi.
00:04:11With his family.
00:04:14Enjoying one of those two goals.
00:04:16But almost definitely both of them.
00:04:20You saw a little shot of Erdin Terzic there in the stadium.
00:04:24Yeah.
00:04:24I think the phrase, once a Borussan, always a Borussan, comes to mind.
00:04:33Well, I know, you know, for being in touch with him, he does still like watching the Borussia.
00:04:40I think in some ways, you know, he basically managed the team of his life.
00:04:50His hometown club.
00:04:52But as this doesn't really last forever, it can then become a bit awkward, doesn't it?
00:05:01So, but I'm glad to see him there in the stadium and see that that love relationship can still keep going.
00:05:09Well, as they say, you can take the man out of Dortmund, but you can't take the Dortmund out of the man.
00:05:22Just a couple of minutes added on at the end of this first half.
00:05:51And they're over now.
00:05:54Daniel Schlager brings the first half to an end.
00:05:58And it's looking good from a Dortmund point of view.
00:06:03Two goals in quick succession.
00:06:05Maximilian Bayer and Emelijan.
00:06:08The difference at the break.
00:06:10It's Dortmund 2, Mike Snell.
00:06:12It took them a while, but they woke up a bit, didn't they, in the last quarter, an hour.
00:06:22They got the break, which, you know, I think separated both teams.
00:06:28It's the fact that Mainz, for all their good play, they couldn't really create any big chances.
00:06:33And that's something that's very pleasing for Dortmund, is that they've been solid at the back, not given away easy chances.
00:06:41And then to get the break and the second goal through a perfectly executed set play.
00:06:50Yeah, very, very good first half then from Borussia.
00:06:53Mainz will have their work cut out in the second half.
00:07:00But the first half started pretty much as you'd expect this game.
00:07:07It was, they were showing a lot of each respect to each other.
00:07:12Bo Henriksen, Denmark's coach of the year, bringing his side here, where in the past they've had some success.
00:07:22The first effort was Maximilian Bayer.
00:07:27Well, we've all had that experience one time or another.
00:07:44Obviously, he's got a slight twitch with his groin and they've got some big games coming up.
00:07:49They don't want him to be out.
00:07:51So it was, they took him out as a precaution.
00:07:54Now, of course, they're two goals up.
00:07:56They'll be flying.
00:07:58What do you think Mainz need to do?
00:08:01Should they bring on someone like Nelson Viper and have two straight strikers to put a bit more pressure on?
00:08:09I think, first of all, they start the game in the same way.
00:08:13And having seen Mainz a lot this season, they've played a lot more short passing.
00:08:20And they had less punch than they had in previous games in the final third.
00:08:27So they nearly troubled Dortmund's defence and Corbel in goal.
00:08:33And that's where they need to add in the second half.
00:08:38Other than that, I think in terms of the personnel, in terms of the line-up,
00:08:41they can keep it the way they have because they've played well.
00:08:46And it's been an even game just that Dortmund got the breakthrough with that goal
00:08:52that had an element of good fortune in it as well.
00:08:55And it's been an element of good fortune in it as well.
00:09:25The third half gets underway.
00:09:28The home side, two goals to the good.
00:09:33Not something that Dortmund have been taking for granted just recently.
00:09:39A win today keeps their hopes of qualifying for a European competition very much alive.
00:09:47They need to be on their guard here.
00:09:51Nabel.
00:09:52Still Nabel.
00:09:53Desperately wanted that shot, Burkhardt didn't really get hold of that one.
00:10:01If you're just joining us after the restart, I'm Phil Bonnihan alongside
00:10:07Morgens Woltz, former Bundesliga and Premier League professional,
00:10:13as well as coach, various other jobs around the world.
00:10:19That sort of sums it up really, Burkhardt with his hands on his head.
00:10:25They've not had massive amounts of chances though, have they Morgens?
00:10:28That's where they're not doing it, they're not getting into the final third and troubling Corbett.
00:10:33True, and it's a very encouraging start nevertheless, because they start on the front foot,
00:10:39they get the first attempted goal through Nabil, whose shot was blocked.
00:10:44But also what was evident for me was a bigger desire, a bigger focus on getting your attacks finished,
00:10:57having some sort of end product.
00:11:00The last time that Mainz dropped points after leading by two goals was against Dortmund.
00:11:17Maybe they'll kind of reverse that statistic today.
00:11:22They need to do something. They would have looked at this one, and on paper it's a difficult game too.
00:11:34As well as in reality, but now Nabil.
00:11:37Amiri.
00:11:39Sanup.
00:11:41He's still not scored, Kaesu Sanup.
00:11:45Which seems almost impossible because he is just so good and he's so omnipresent on the pitch.
00:11:52But he supports his teammates so well.
00:11:57It's a very good start from Mainz.
00:12:02They need that early goal in the first quarter of an hour of the second half just to get themselves really hooked back into the game.
00:12:16It's not like they haven't been worth it.
00:12:19Anthony Cassic.
00:12:33Got the most assists for Mainz.
00:12:36They could do with one of those right now.
00:12:40Nabil is too low.
00:12:44One of those right now.
00:12:49All of those right now.
00:12:50Anybody ready?
00:12:51Everybody need Burkhardt all the way out there.
00:12:57Morgan Schions.
00:13:00One game away from his 50th Bundesliga game.
00:13:03That'll be next timeout against Kiel if he plays.
00:13:08place and another sequence of very good defending from borussia just defending their own box
00:13:23there's a lot of presence there in terms of numbers but also everyone who is there
00:13:30is there to be counted
00:13:38it's good ball from sono but nebel couldn't pick it up
00:14:08it's good thinking
00:14:14perhaps the execution just left a little to be desired
00:14:23and there they go again those intense tackles but they're not malicious they're just full-on
00:14:30oh that was great
00:14:40cassie messed up the control a little bit there his first touch let him down
00:14:45he's not going to get through there
00:14:58dortmund having to use everything in terms of defense right now
00:15:03oh good ball danny da costa anthony cassie
00:15:13oh they are trying to play some lovely football minds they really are and it's what's got them there
00:15:22where they are now is that kind of thinking beautiful through ball by amiri
00:15:28just a toe that
00:15:35little paul nable was missing
00:15:39there you go
00:15:40if he was just a little bit taller he might have got to that on his legs a little bit longer
00:15:52unbeaten in the champions league since uh niko kovac took over but they lost four of their six bundesliga games since he's been in charge
00:16:14i mean he kind of needs a bit of a a little success to just join him along a little bit
00:16:26vastly experienced coach of course
00:16:44oh that was close and not uh a little uncheeky there from widma
00:17:02that was slick too
00:17:07koto has to be careful he's on a yellow card that he picked up at the end of the first half
00:17:14we're playing good football minds
00:17:26i think he has to be careful
00:17:302 50 bundesliga games can get something to remember it by
00:17:34that is a good ball in
00:17:37very very tricky to defend niko schlotha back he's been the main
00:17:41the main player, the focal point for Borussia so far this afternoon, I feel.
00:17:54Gone short. Amiri's ball is deep.
00:17:58Straight into the arms of Gregor Korval from Mourad Jens.
00:18:12They had to get a stepladder to get over Adeyemi there.
00:18:26Got some very good heights.
00:18:31Well, that could be because Adeyemi is not the tallest player in the Bundesliga.
00:18:41But I was aware of the back pass possibility there.
00:18:52Course to Brandt now, Adeyemi again.
00:18:56Adeyemi's shots blocked.
00:19:01Adeyemi combining with Cassie.
00:19:05Da Costa.
00:19:07There's nobody there.
00:19:11Da Costa gets another go at it.
00:19:15Amiri shoves it forward.
00:19:17Burkhard slides in and very nearly got it away.
00:19:20From his Germany squad team-mate, Emilio Can.
00:19:26Glant.
00:19:30The thing with Dortmund these days is you never know which Dortmund you're going to get before a game.
00:19:34Whether it's the Champions League Dortmund.
00:19:37Or the losing to Union Berlin Dortmund.
00:19:41Or the losing to Leipzig Dortmund the last couple of defeats.
00:19:44They are really making people scratch their heads about the consistency that they've not been able to show this season.
00:20:00And they are really making people scratch their heads about the consistency that they've not been able to show this season.
00:20:12Yeah, their approach also in this game against Mainz shows that they, that Mainz have worked up some respect.
00:20:22Because this is the Dortmund that's up for a big game.
00:20:29Schlotterbeck again.
00:20:31Last corner they scored from.
00:20:34That one goes out for a corner.
00:20:40Looks as if it came off from Sally Özcan but.
00:20:43Off Özcan onto the back of his marker.
00:20:50But those, I mean, how often do you see a centre-half deliver the set plays?
00:20:58Whenever they're good at it.
00:21:03And certainly, Niko Schlotterbeck is good at this.
00:21:08Yeah, his, his balls, they're coming in like cannonballs.
00:21:12Difficult to deal with.
00:21:25And there's another one.
00:21:28This time.
00:21:30There was a Mainz head behind it.
00:21:32Five shots to zero since the break for Mainz.
00:21:44A bit of an up and under and Schlotterbeck will not have any trouble with that.
00:21:59It was a finish it.
00:22:00I really loved that.
00:22:01There's an end to the bottom back.
00:22:02I eat it at the bottom from the back.
00:22:04I'm a fan of the back.
00:22:05I love that.
00:22:06I want to do that.
00:22:07I love that.
00:22:09I love that.
00:22:11That's all.
00:22:12That's all.
00:22:14I love that.
00:22:15I love that!
00:22:17That's all.
00:22:19You're here in the back.
00:22:20I love that!
00:22:22It kicks it long but Widmacht heads it straight back in the direction from whence it came
00:22:39but now Bayer that was inspired.
00:22:44That's the kind of quick thinking you often see from Maxi Bayer.
00:22:52Attacked the space and got the touch and in a way that's what brought about the first goal.
00:23:00He was attacking the space, got the touch, wasn't what he wanted, didn't go where he wanted it
00:23:04but it was instrumental in making the first goal happen and now a mistake could let in.
00:23:11Mainz for a goal that will keep them in the game but Dortmund throw everything that they have.
00:23:20Not just a kitchen sink, there was some sofas and a couple of lampshades in there as well.
00:23:29Yeah.
00:23:31Looked like an Ikea store.
00:23:34This is not offside in my opinion but my eye's side is not the best but we've mentioned it before.
00:23:45The Borussia's defending in the box has been brilliant this evening.
00:23:50Paul Nebel, he just couldn't get his feet right, rightly positioned to the ball.
00:23:58But I feel that's what, that's an element of the game that often has been lacking for Borussia.
00:24:08That real desire to not concede.
00:24:11Well, you certainly saw some desire there on the faces of Nikol Schlotterbeck and Gregor Korbel, his keeper.
00:24:20They were very pleased with themselves, quite rightly so.
00:24:25They were very pleased with themselves, too early, looking at these moves, and they were very pleased with themselves, such creative.
00:24:33An evil absolutely hounded by Selyo Church förれ
00:24:38one too rough.
00:24:41Too rough.
00:24:43ena
00:24:43W истории
00:24:44One
00:24:46Two rough.
00:24:48One
00:24:49Two rough.
00:24:50One
00:24:51Arthur.
00:24:52One
00:24:52Now Blunt, he's on his own, but that doesn't mean he's not going to try and go all the way through, well, fell over the ball.
00:25:14Amiri's fallen over, the ball has now come to Gwors, that's a great tackle from Jens, now Kai Shusano on his own, powering towards the Dortmund goal, is today going to be his day?
00:25:30No, he gave it to Burkhardt, and Burkhardt couldn't dig it out from underneath his own feet, they've come so close, I mean, any neutral out there has got to have a bit of a heart, as they say in German, for the way Mainz are playing, they're just not quite getting that last touch, are they?
00:25:49Daniel Svensson is going to come on for Coutou, and Svensson's had a slight knee injury that kept him out, yellow card after 45 minutes for the Brazilian, but
00:26:19he manages to stay on until he was substituted off, only the fifth game for Daniel Svensson, but he's looked impressive so far, games, certainly that I've seen him in.
00:26:41Oh, more marvellous Mainz passing, Jae Sung Lee, Sarno whips it over to where his captain can't get the ball under control.
00:27:01And EME will not win the speed battle with Mainz's fastest player, I don't think, Danny Da Costa.
00:27:31Jens is there.
00:27:36Jens is there.
00:27:38Centner.
00:27:41I feel since, Mainz have been looking more dangerous in this second half, strangely, Dortmund have too.
00:27:57And just riding the challenges.
00:28:03Adeyemi, still Adeyemi, he's running to Jens there.
00:28:11He's a real danger man in the box, so quick and light on his feet, and Jens does well
00:28:20there, standing in the space where he knows Adeyemi wants to go.
00:28:37I wonder how
00:29:07long it'll be before Mainz bring in some fresh legs.
00:29:13The last 20 minutes, Mainz have been pouring on the pressure.
00:29:19Well, as if to answer my own question.
00:29:25He goes off, and Heung-Sok Hong comes on.
00:29:33And it's not Nelson Viper, it's going to be Nicholas Placchnik that comes on.
00:29:39The number 22 is a right back, and Heung-Sok Hong, who needs to get a little bit more involved
00:29:55in the challenges according to his coach.
00:30:01I'm surprised they took off Jason Lee because he's been very instrumental in a lot of the build-up.
00:30:17I agree.
00:30:29Paul Nebel as the other alternative.
00:30:31I feel he's had a good game, but also one of these games where you get the sense that he's
00:30:39not gonna get a goal today or make a goal.
00:30:43I think Olsen was arriving late, but a little too late.
00:31:03So now I have to stay calm there.
00:31:31Kassie dispossessed, and Svensons pounced straight away.
00:31:43It's asking a lot of Rioson.
00:31:46Rioson went into the challenge with Vrachnik.
00:31:53Put his shoulder out and just bounced straight off.
00:31:55That was good stuff from Vrachnik, wasn't it?
00:31:59Yes, good little first action to get into the game, build your confidence.
00:32:05It's not like he's been getting a lot of minutes this season.
00:32:11No, no, no.
00:32:23No, no, no!
00:32:25No, no!
00:32:27No, no!
00:32:29giving Svensson something to chase
00:32:37and he was fouled
00:32:38by Nable
00:32:40and Nable will run all day
00:32:43there's no doubt about that
00:32:44I think he gets away here
00:32:46Svensson
00:32:46there's a tug definitely
00:32:49yeah maybe too much
00:32:51too much of a tug but
00:32:53pulled him around
00:32:54Denmark's coach of the year
00:33:04I mentioned earlier
00:33:06just shows you how well he's thought of
00:33:09not only here
00:33:11but in his home country
00:33:24Mainz don't give away a lot of goals
00:33:27from open play
00:33:28I think Viper might come on
00:33:31for Burkhard
00:33:32I think Burkhard is looking a little tired now
00:33:36yeah
00:33:37and as much as you still want to win this game
00:33:45or get a point right
00:33:46you definitely don't want to risk
00:33:48anything happening to Burkhard
00:33:50if you're a Mainz player that has
00:33:53had a knack for niggles and injuries
00:33:56yep
00:33:57as good as he is
00:33:59he is one of those players that is
00:34:02susceptible to
00:34:04the odd injury
00:34:06it's very true
00:34:0820 minutes to play
00:34:13and if they're going to get themselves back into this game
00:34:15they need a goal fairly soon
00:34:16Schlotterberg has been a brilliant today
00:34:22Adeyemi
00:34:23this time
00:34:25oh good save Robin Sentner
00:34:28like Robin Hood
00:34:31he's drawn his arrow
00:34:32and he's let fly
00:34:33but
00:34:34Robin Sentner was there
00:34:36when he needed to be there
00:34:37look at that challenge
00:34:39and then he plays it forward
00:34:41straight away
00:34:41and here
00:34:44Adeyemi does the right thing
00:34:46by crossing
00:34:47in front of
00:34:48Jens
00:34:49Sentner
00:34:51what a save
00:34:51brilliant hand
00:34:54they were already cheering
00:34:57they thought that was in
00:34:58Adeyemi
00:35:04with three goals so far
00:35:08this campaign
00:35:09and
00:35:11you called it
00:35:15it's now happening
00:35:17Nelson Viper
00:35:18on for
00:35:19Jonathan
00:35:20Burkhardt
00:35:20Nelson Viper
00:35:22Mainz Youth Academy
00:35:25products
00:35:26they love him in
00:35:28Mainz
00:35:28he's one of their own
00:35:29Schlotterberg to deliver
00:35:35another one of those
00:35:35cannonball corners
00:35:37oh
00:35:37he's done it again
00:35:39this time
00:35:40this time it's
00:35:40Maximilian Bayer
00:35:41a second corner assist
00:35:43of the day
00:35:44for
00:35:45Nico Schlotterberg
00:35:46he has been
00:35:47firing those corners in
00:35:48with alacrity today
00:35:50and an accuracy
00:35:51and a power
00:35:52that has been
00:35:52simply
00:35:53unstoppable
00:35:54and Mainz
00:35:56know all about it
00:35:573-0 now
00:35:58for
00:35:59Borussia Dortmund
00:36:00yes
00:36:02it just confirms
00:36:04a point that I
00:36:05often make
00:36:06when it comes to
00:36:08set pieces
00:36:08it's all about
00:36:11the delivery
00:36:11and the delivery
00:36:13once again
00:36:14is spot on
00:36:15by Nico Schlotterberg here
00:36:16right into this
00:36:19six yard box
00:36:20you know
00:36:22you're gonna find
00:36:23a man there
00:36:24it's awkward to defend
00:36:26for the goalkeeper
00:36:27because it's close
00:36:28to the goal
00:36:28but
00:36:29when it's whipped in
00:36:30with so much
00:36:32pace and venom
00:36:33then
00:36:33most goalkeepers
00:36:35will stay on their line
00:36:36Bayer
00:36:38the man that he found
00:36:39and
00:36:40this
00:36:41certainly seals the game
00:36:43for Borussia
00:36:44I don't see
00:36:46a comeback
00:36:46for Mainz
00:36:47two goals now
00:36:50for Maximilian Bayer
00:36:54that's his 6th and 7th
00:36:57of the season
00:36:58in this game today
00:37:01that one
00:37:06the pick of the bunch
00:37:09today
00:37:10Kerr will rather
00:37:22indelicately putting
00:37:24that one out
00:37:24while it was still
00:37:282-0
00:37:28Mainz had a chance
00:37:30of a point
00:37:31but the comeback
00:37:35from here
00:37:37is going to be
00:37:38very difficult
00:37:39indeed
00:37:39and the way
00:37:44it's going for them
00:37:45I don't think
00:37:47they're even going to
00:37:48get a single goal
00:37:48Maurice
00:37:49what about you
00:37:49it doesn't look like it
00:37:52and that just stands
00:37:57for
00:37:57a really solid
00:37:59defensive display
00:38:00by Borussia
00:38:01because
00:38:02it's not like
00:38:04Mainz didn't try
00:38:05today
00:38:05it's not like
00:38:06they
00:38:07didn't have a lot
00:38:08of possession
00:38:09in and around
00:38:09the box
00:38:10Nikol Korvac is going to
00:38:11be delighted
00:38:12his side have run
00:38:13two kilometers more
00:38:14than Mainz today
00:38:15we know that
00:38:18Nikol Korvac is a bit
00:38:19of a fitness fan
00:38:21but that will
00:38:22please him as well
00:38:23in fact it's nearly
00:38:31three kilometers more
00:38:32that's three kilometers
00:38:35more than I have run
00:38:37today
00:38:37Phil
00:38:38mentally you've been
00:38:41jogging quite hard
00:38:42though
00:38:42I try
00:38:45I try
00:38:46so there we go
00:38:51distance covered
00:38:51it is
00:38:53three kilometers more
00:38:55than the Mainz side
00:38:56quite impressive
00:38:58but that shows a will
00:39:05and a desire
00:39:06to take the game
00:39:09to Mainz
00:39:09you're going to see
00:39:11Niklas
00:39:11you're going to see
00:39:14Niklas Zula
00:39:15come on
00:39:21for the last quarter
00:39:22of an hour
00:39:22by the look of it
00:39:23Mike's trying to
00:39:29overwhelm
00:39:30and they did just that
00:39:33needs a good
00:39:33ball in
00:39:34waiting
00:39:39trying to
00:39:40avoid that
00:39:41offside trap
00:39:41Amiri
00:39:44oh they deserved that
00:39:47they certainly did
00:39:49Powell
00:39:51Nabel
00:39:51makes it
00:39:543-1
00:39:54and they worked
00:39:57so hard
00:39:58to get a goal
00:39:59will it help them
00:40:02there's 15 minutes
00:40:03there's a lot to do
00:40:04they kind of believe
00:40:05in themselves
00:40:06as well
00:40:06it's not out of the
00:40:08question
00:40:08is it
00:40:08it's a Mainz goal
00:40:10look how hard
00:40:11they have worked
00:40:12for it
00:40:13will be
00:40:15checked of course
00:40:16yeah
00:40:20a lot of grounds
00:40:24to check up on
00:40:25might take a while
00:40:26there's another one
00:40:31there but there was
00:40:32certainly no interference
00:40:33with the keeper
00:40:33and another one here
00:40:34look
00:40:35no
00:40:36be interesting
00:40:40to see
00:40:40I mean it wasn't a
00:40:45controlled ball
00:40:46was it
00:40:47the block
00:40:49by Nabel
00:40:49and I think also
00:40:52the other one
00:40:54you could argue
00:40:55that
00:40:56John
00:40:57controls the ball
00:40:58if it wasn't
00:40:59for the
00:40:59look here
00:41:01this is not a
00:41:01controlled ball
00:41:02right
00:41:02so
00:41:03I don't think
00:41:07that one is
00:41:07and the other ones
00:41:10were they in the
00:41:11line of sight
00:41:12and interfering
00:41:13with the goalkeeper
00:41:14yes
00:41:14I'm not sure
00:41:15that none of them
00:41:16were
00:41:16I don't think
00:41:17yeah I don't think
00:41:19they were in the
00:41:19line interfering
00:41:20with the goalkeeper
00:41:21in an offside
00:41:22position
00:41:22so
00:41:23right now
00:41:25the only way
00:41:26the only way
00:41:27I think it could
00:41:28could be called off
00:41:29is the one on
00:41:30Emre Can
00:41:30where he clears it
00:41:32knowing there's a
00:41:33player in an
00:41:34offside position
00:41:35behind him
00:41:36but I would find
00:41:38that a harsh
00:41:39decision
00:41:39Robert Schroeder
00:41:41and Anna Arnink
00:41:42will be hard at
00:41:42work
00:41:43and the goal
00:41:44is given
00:41:45yeah
00:41:46and I think
00:41:47again
00:41:48another
00:41:48correct
00:41:50refereeing
00:41:50decision
00:41:51yeah I go
00:41:52with that
00:41:52decision
00:41:53all day long
00:41:53no interruption
00:41:57of the goalkeeper's
00:41:58line of sight
00:41:59it wasn't a
00:41:59controlled ball
00:42:00so therefore
00:42:01it wasn't a
00:42:02pass
00:42:02and the goal
00:42:04stands
00:42:04Paul Nabal's
00:42:05eighth of the
00:42:06campaign
00:42:06here's how much
00:42:09I know about
00:42:10football right
00:42:11saying that
00:42:11I don't think
00:42:13it's going to be
00:42:13Paul Nabal
00:42:14getting on the
00:42:15score sheet
00:42:16today
00:42:16the way things
00:42:19were going
00:42:19I don't think
00:42:20anybody would
00:42:20blame you
00:42:21but
00:42:21good on him
00:42:22I'm delighted
00:42:24because he's
00:42:24worked so hard
00:42:25today
00:42:26and he's had
00:42:26a good game
00:42:27yet again
00:42:28only Jackson
00:42:30Irvine runs
00:42:31more
00:42:31Sao Paoli's
00:42:32captain
00:42:32puts in
00:42:34more intensive
00:42:34sprints
00:42:35now
00:42:36thought this
00:42:38was going to
00:42:39happen

00:43:49you were
00:43:51hard on

00:43:51saying
00:43:52that
00:43:52you
00:43:52didn't
00:43:52think
00:43:52Powell
00:43:52Nable

00:43:57wrong
00:43:58I
00:43:59am
00:44:00watching
00:44:01this
00:44:02minds
00:44:02team
00:44:02I'm
00:44:05so
00:44:05impressed
00:44:06again
00:44:06and
00:44:06again
00:44:06by
00:44:07by
00:44:07their
00:44:08fitness
00:44:08by
00:44:09their
00:44:10desire
00:44:11look
00:44:12how
00:44:12harsh
00:44:12they
00:44:13are
00:44:13still
00:44:13in
00:44:13their
00:44:13pressing
00:44:14and
00:44:14their
00:44:15retention
00:44:18of
00:44:18the
00:44:18ball
00:44:18I
00:44:21mean
00:44:21you
00:44:23can
00:44:23take
00:44:24out
00:44:24a
00:44:24lot
00:44:25of
00:44:25spells
00:44:25in
00:44:26this
00:44:26game
00:44:26which
00:44:28would
00:44:28show
00:44:29that
00:44:29minds
00:44:29were
00:44:30the
00:44:30better
00:44:31team
00:44:31but
00:44:32yet
00:44:33Dortmund
00:44:33have
00:44:34been
00:44:34so
00:44:34much
00:44:34more
00:44:35efficient
00:44:35in
00:44:38the
00:44:38final
00:44:39third
00:44:39especially
00:44:40it
00:44:40underlines
00:44:41again
00:44:41how important
00:44:42set pieces
00:44:43are in
00:44:43football
00:44:44and have
00:44:44been
00:44:45forever
00:44:45those
00:44:46corners
00:44:46were
00:44:48absolute
00:44:49diamonds
00:44:49for them
00:44:50because without
00:44:51those corners
00:44:51it's 1-1
00:44:52it's true
00:44:53and then imagine
00:44:55where Mainz could be
00:44:56standing if they
00:44:57would also be
00:44:58scoring from
00:45:01set place
00:45:01instead of
00:45:02conceding
00:45:03well corners is not a thing
00:45:04that Mainz have been doing
00:45:05this season
00:45:05they've not as I
00:45:06mentioned earlier
00:45:07not managed to find
00:45:08the target once
00:45:09after a corner
00:45:10Financi
00:45:13looking for
00:45:17Young Sok
00:45:18but
00:45:18now
00:45:21mistake after mistake
00:45:25Da Costa
00:45:27chips the ball
00:45:29back
00:45:29for
00:45:31they would have
00:45:32gone into this game
00:45:33though
00:45:34Mainz
00:45:35and I'm sure
00:45:37Henriksen would have
00:45:38said to them
00:45:38look
00:45:38this is not
00:45:40our season
00:45:41is not pinned
00:45:41on this game
00:45:42if it goes
00:45:44pear-shaped
00:45:45it's not the end
00:45:45of the world
00:45:46by a long way
00:45:46no
00:45:47the next game
00:45:48will be
00:45:49much more important
00:45:50from a Mainz
00:45:51perspective
00:45:52because what they've
00:45:53done in this game
00:45:54they've
00:45:54they've shown a
00:45:56very good performance
00:45:57they've shown that
00:45:59their rhythm hasn't
00:46:01been disrupted
00:46:02by the international
00:46:03that's not going to be
00:46:09enough in the next game
00:46:10in the next game
00:46:11it's about getting
00:46:12points
00:46:13and it will be
00:46:15for their opposition
00:46:16Kiel as well
00:46:17Kami Chukwami
00:46:19getting flattened
00:46:20and rolled out there
00:46:23by Moritz Jens
00:46:25free kick
00:46:25taken quickly
00:46:26Adeyemi
00:46:28oh that's clever
00:46:32Kiel is not in
00:46:36how did they
00:46:37keep that out
00:46:38section of the crowd
00:46:43were already
00:46:44cheering there
00:46:44Moritz
00:46:45yeah that was a
00:46:49great effort
00:46:49there
00:46:50look
00:46:51good little
00:46:52football
00:46:53hardly any space
00:46:56to navigate
00:46:56through
00:46:57Pascal Groß
00:46:58so unfortunate
00:47:00a millimeter
00:47:01more inside
00:47:03of the post
00:47:03would have
00:47:04probably been
00:47:04enough
00:47:05Nelson Viper
00:47:06he's got the
00:47:08long legs
00:47:08can he get
00:47:09past
00:47:09Nico Schlotterbeck
00:47:11well he could have
00:47:12done
00:47:12but Gregor Korbel
00:47:13was already
00:47:14en route
00:47:16Paul Nebel
00:47:28looks as if
00:47:29he's limping
00:47:30slightly
00:47:30Adeyemi
00:47:33Svensson
00:47:35wanted that
00:47:36ball played
00:47:37nice cutback
00:47:39Chukwami
00:47:40cap
00:47:40timely block
00:47:45he's got away
00:47:52from them
00:47:52it's all a little
00:47:53hectic
00:47:54and they jam
00:47:58with an
00:47:59important
00:48:00challenge
00:48:01there's a foul
00:48:13Pascal Gorse
00:48:16penalised
00:48:18I'd like to see
00:48:23that one
00:48:24again
00:48:24no time
00:48:29six minutes
00:48:30left
00:48:30plus time
00:48:31added on
00:48:31for stoppages
00:48:32Mainz
00:48:33so very
00:48:34typical of
00:48:35them
00:48:35this season
00:48:36not
00:48:36giving up
00:48:38any time
00:48:40soon
00:48:41oh that's
00:48:56lovely
00:48:56but not
00:48:58effective
00:48:59very nice
00:49:02feed
00:49:03there by
00:49:03Hong
00:49:03and then I
00:49:05felt he needed
00:49:05to chip
00:49:06to the back
00:49:06post
00:49:07Cassie
00:49:11was there
00:49:11tried to pull it
00:49:12back
00:49:13tried to pull it
00:49:14back
00:49:14and it needed
00:49:15to go to
00:49:15the back
00:49:16post
00:49:16Phil
00:49:16so
00:49:20a corner
00:49:21Amiri
00:49:24oh that gave
00:49:26Gregor Corbel
00:49:27a worrying
00:49:27moment
00:49:28there
00:49:28another corner
00:49:35because he did
00:49:36get a hand
00:49:37on that
00:49:37sooner or later
00:49:39Mainz are going
00:49:40to score from a
00:49:41corner
00:49:41they've had two
00:49:43beautiful examples
00:49:44shown to them
00:49:44today
00:49:45Neville
00:49:46it's Languid
00:49:49out swinging
00:49:50Nelson Viper
00:49:52with the final
00:49:54touch
00:49:55but it wasn't
00:49:55anything really
00:49:59to write home
00:49:59about
00:50:00there you can
00:50:16see it
00:50:17yes he's in an
00:50:19offside position
00:50:20had that been a
00:50:21pass but it
00:50:22wasn't a pass
00:50:22it was a block
00:50:23so it wasn't a
00:50:24deliberately played
00:50:25ball and under
00:50:26the rules
00:50:26play could continue
00:50:29the thing is
00:50:52for Mainz
00:50:53there is not enough
00:50:54time
00:50:55Amiri
00:50:59he's driven them
00:51:01on today
00:51:02now the ball comes
00:51:10to the back post
00:51:11but it's too high
00:51:12for Anthony Cassie
00:51:14more substitutions
00:51:19was another good attack
00:51:22there
00:51:23and you say that
00:51:26there isn't a lot
00:51:27of time left
00:51:28but if Mainz are to
00:51:31get one back
00:51:32that will have an
00:51:34effect on Dortmund
00:51:35for the final
00:51:37moments of this game
00:51:39then we saw the injury
00:51:44and we saw the injury
00:51:44or the reaction
00:51:45from Paul Newell
00:51:47they're without him
00:51:48now
00:51:48Armindo
00:51:49Sieb
00:51:50on loan
00:51:50from Bayern
00:51:51is on
00:51:52and Arnaud
00:51:54who's only played
00:51:5819 minutes
00:51:59in his two previous
00:51:59appearances
00:52:00this season
00:52:02for Mainz
00:52:03since joining them
00:52:04is on as well
00:52:05two forwards
00:52:07so we know
00:52:08what's happening
00:52:08now
00:52:09caution to the wind
00:52:13possibly a little
00:52:15for Mainz
00:52:17as they try
00:52:17to grab a comeback
00:52:21of extreme proportions
00:52:24they seem to be
00:52:28doing all right
00:52:28Hank Olsen
00:52:30on a deep run
00:52:34now
00:52:36Adeyemi
00:52:37Chukomek is up
00:52:41with him
00:52:41great run
00:52:43from Ryerson
00:52:43Adeyemi's gone
00:52:44on his own
00:52:45not sure
00:52:49that was the right
00:52:49decision there
00:52:50but he is a forward
00:53:01that's what forwards do
00:53:02they take the ball on
00:53:03they look for a
00:53:03shooting opportunity
00:53:04and take it if they can
00:53:05and I was a fullback
00:53:07and I am just
00:53:08thinking
00:53:11like Ryerson now
00:53:14give me the ball
00:53:16give me the ball
00:53:16give me the ball
00:53:19yellow card for
00:53:20Nikos Slotterbeck
00:53:21he seems a little
00:53:24upset about it
00:53:25just caught him
00:53:29as he went through
00:53:29didn't he
00:53:30and he's won the ball
00:53:32but still
00:53:33I agree
00:53:35it's a foul
00:53:35it's also
00:53:36a yellow card
00:53:38and it also means
00:53:39that he will miss
00:53:40the next game
00:53:41away at Freiburg
00:53:43fifth yellow card
00:53:46of the season
00:53:46for
00:53:47Nikos Slotterbeck
00:53:48four minutes to add on
00:54:00a minute for every goal
00:54:03might even be five
00:54:06no it's not
00:54:122,743 minutes
00:54:14that's not
00:54:15what's going to happen
00:54:16that's the substitution
00:54:18Jamie Gittins
00:54:20for
00:54:21Adeyemi
00:54:23and Rami Benzabaini
00:54:24is there as well
00:54:25they'll be disappointed
00:54:40they'll be disappointed
00:54:54about having
00:54:54conceded a goal
00:54:56today
00:54:57the
00:54:57defence
00:54:58department
00:54:59of Dortmund
00:55:00Swenson just
00:55:12bashing it forward
00:55:15which is really
00:55:17what Mainz
00:55:18should be doing
00:55:18not really
00:55:22their style
00:55:23not really their style
00:55:23Payer was tenacious
00:55:35to the point
00:55:35of stubborn
00:55:37there
00:55:37it was all
00:55:39coming off
00:55:40for him

00:56:15seen a lot of
00:56:19the ball already
00:56:19since he's come on
00:56:20that's a useful
00:56:22flick ball
00:56:23that's nice
00:56:33intelligent stuff
00:56:37again from
00:56:38Mainz
00:56:38try to create
00:56:41something

00:56:43a field
00:56:44of bodies
