In the Bundesliga game between Mainz 05 and Eintracht Frankfurt, fans saw a draw on the horizon for a long time on matchday 27. But then Paul Nebel came. The Mainz midfielder scored the early lead for the hosts in the 2-1 (1-1) draw on matchday 27 (6th minute), Nathaniel Brown equalized for Frankfurt (20th), but Nebel still had an ace up his sleeve and scored the late winning goal (89th). Despite the defeat, Eintracht remains in seventh place, Mainz is taking a huge step towards staying in the league and in eleventh place now has 30 points.

Chaibi still seemed visibly dazed after the collision, but Mainz were wide awake: Various attacks rolled towards the Frankfurt goal, especially on the left side, and one of them resulted in the early 1-0. Sheraldo Becker brought the ball diagonally to the right from the left side against advanced Frankfurt players, where Nebel shot at the long leg of the approaching Arthur Theate, but the ball was deflected unstoppably for Michael Zetterer (6th minute). It was Nebel’s third goal involvement in the last four Bundesliga games; he had managed exactly one in the previous 23 match days. The early bad news for Frankfurt continued as Jae-sung Lee landed unhappily on the ankle of Nathaniel Brown, who from then on limped a little and at times looked as if he had to be replaced. In the 20th minute, the injury apparently no longer bothered the national player so much. Jean-Matteo Bahoya beat the passive Danny da Costa on the left and brought the ball flat in front of the Mainz goal, where Brown cleverly ran in and scored the equalizer with a deliberate low shot. It had been a lively and, above all, intense game up to that point. Kaishu Sano narrowly missed Mainz’s direct response from the edge of the penalty area in the 22nd minute, his shot sailing past the bottom left. Shortly before the break, Frankfurt almost came close to scoring the lead more or less out of nowhere: after a flat cross from Brown, Dominik Kohr slid somewhat unorthodoxly into the cross and almost extended it into his own goal. Daniel Batz couldn’t have intervened, but the ball rolled past the post and out of bounds (43′). During the half-time break, Brown finally had to pay tribute to the pain and remained injured in the dressing room. Ellyes Skhiri came into the game as left-back. Was it due to the lack of the dynamic winger that the encounter initially seemed much more subdued than in the first half?! In any case, Eintracht now had well over 60 percent possession of the ball, but hardly created any promising opportunities or field positions and the previously dangerous needle pricks from Mainz were now seen much less often on the other side. It took until the hour mark before the spectators’ pulse shot up again: After a cross from the right, Chaibi headed the ball onto the crossbar. Three minutes later, Albert Riera had to replace his next young defensive man: Nnamdi Collins also injured his foot after an unfortunate duel with Kohr and had to go down. When everything looked like a draw, Zetterer first made an outstanding save against a header from substitute Nelson Weiper, but Nebel switched gears quickest, sprinted to the rebound, hit the ball over the line to deafening cheers and was then buried under a red-and-white crowd of cheers (89′). Eintracht once again threw everything forward, but were no longer able to create a chance against the passionately defending hosts.
