Right after the opening whistle, Dortmund quickly pushed up the squad to find an early advantage. The continuous pressure of the home team was concretized by two goals in just the first 15 minutes of the match scored by Serhou Guirassy and Maximilian Beier.
After taking the lead, the yellow-black team continued to control the game. Meanwhile, Mainz tried to organize attacks but could not penetrate the opponent's solid defense. Before the first half ended, Guirassy completed a double, helping Dortmund increase the gap to 3-0.
Stepping into the second half, Mainz still had many difficulties in finding a consolation goal. In the 84th minute, the away team continued to concede a goal after Dominik Kohr's own goal.
In the end, Dortmund won 4-0, thereby consolidating the second position in the group with 51 points after 22 matches, temporarily 3 points behind the leading team Bayern Munich but having played 1 more match.
