In a disappointing match, Frankfurt’s goalkeeper Kaua Santos, filling in for an ill Kevin Trapp, had a disastrous performance that included an own goal and a crucial passing error leading to a second goal for Mainz. Despite playing with a numerical advantage after Mainz’s Nadiem Amiri was sent off, Frankfurt managed only a single goal from Rasmus Kristensen, ending the match 3-1. In contrast, other Bundesliga teams like Gladbach and Holstein Kiel secured important victories, showcasing a competitive environment in the league.
