هامبورگ مقابل ماینتس 05

Hamburger SV suffered their heaviest home defeat under manager Merlin Polzin as Mainz tore them apart 0-5 at the Volksparkstadion. Sheraldo Becker was the standout, capping a man-of-the-match display with a goal and two assists as Mainz cruised from start to finish. Becker opened the scoring in the 19th minute after pouncing on a misplaced pass from HSV captain Nicolai Remberg, then teed up Philipp Mwene for a tap-in right before halftime. Phillip Tietz struck twice, first three minutes into the second half and again late on, while Ransford-Yeboah Königsdörffer completed the rout in stoppage time, celebrating pointedly against his former club. Hamburg boss Polzin threw on Fabio Vieira, Patson Daka and Shafiq Nandja at the break in a bid to change things, but the changes did nothing to slow Mainz down. The result lifts Urs Fischer's Mainz side into fourth place, continuing their strong form. For Hamburger SV, it's a second straight lopsided defeat to open the season, and a daunting trip to RB Leipzig looms next.
