Match Report
Freiburg silenced the MEWA Arena on matchday 29, claiming a 1-0 win away at Mainz. The decisive blow landed just two minutes after the restart, when Lucas Höler's clinical header gave the visitors an advantage they never relinquished.
Höler met a cross from the left, flicked on by Lienhart, and guided his effort from eight metres into the far corner past Batz (47'). Freiburg stayed hungry — Batz was forced into two sharp stops in the 60th and 61st minutes to keep the gap at one. Mainz's clearest chance came through Widmer in the 79th, but his close-range effort was comfortably held. Höler picked up a yellow card in the 73rd for a cynical foul, the game's only booking.
The three points are a timely boost for Freiburg as the Bundesliga heads into its final weeks. Mainz will be left to rue a flat attacking display that never truly threatened to turn the match around.
