After a defeat against TSG Hoffenheim Achim Beierlorzer was released two weeks ago as coach of the 1st FC Cologne. Now the 52-year-old has retaliated on the sidelines of Mainz 05: In the first game at his new club Beierlorzers team won 5: 1 (1: 0) against just that Hoffenheim, which had cost him in Cologne the job.
To summarize the Sunday evening of the Hoffenheimer, the scene of Mainz 2: 0 is enough. Jeremiah St. Juste put in a cross from the right side where Robin Quaison missed. At the second post, Kaderabek tried to clear with some sort of side-thrower, but hit the ball past the ball that bounced off the right-back's header (52.minute).
It was not the only curiosity in Sinsheim. Hoffenheim coach Alfred Schreuder caused a sensation with his unusual formation, the central defender Kevin Akpoguma started as left winger. However, the attempt was stopped after halftime.

Four goals in tails
As Levin Öztunali had already brought the Mainz into the lead: After a great combination of Robin Quaison and Karim Onisiwo he scored from an acute angle into the far corner to the lead (33). And there the Mainz Ridle Baku had already flown out of the square, after the video assistant intervened after a rough foul on Sebastian Rudy and referee Bastian Dankert showed the 21-year-old instead of yellow the red card (45. + 1).
Nevertheless, the Hoffenheimers failed to get back into the game. Although they went high risk in attack, failed again and again on strong Mainz keeper Robin Zentner.
Instead, Hoffenheim was outranked by the Mainz. After Kaderabek's own goal Pierre Kunde completed a transfer situation alone in front of Hoffenheim goalkeeper Oliver Baumann in the right corner (62.). Andrej Kramaric could only shorten for Hoffenheim (83.). Jean-Paul Boetius and customer made in stoppage time with a double strike to 5: 1 all clear.
Mainz jumps by the success of the relegation places and is 13th, Hoffenheim misses the Champions League seats and falls to eighth.
