FSV Mainz 05 and 1. FC Union Berlin have missed the possible temporary jump to the top of the table in the Bundesliga.
Both clubs drew 0-0 on Sunday and are still undefeated after the second matchday with four points each.
In the heat, the teams delivered a rather tired kick in front of 25,009 spectators that didn't deserve a winner.
Mainz - Union made the best start to the season in its Bundesliga history despite the zero number.
Mainz failed to start with two wins for the first time since the 2013/14 season.
