The match saw Mainz take control with goals before and after half-time. Paul Nebel scored just before the break, giving Mainz the lead. Soon after the second half started, Dominik Kohr added another goal to make it 2-0. Moenchengladbach tried to fight back, and Stefan Lainer scored in the last 20 minutes to give his team some hope. But Mainz quickly responded when Nadiem Amiri scored, making it 3-1 and securing an important win.

After the match, Mainz players were happy with their position in the league. One player said, "We are happy to be here. We have 44 points, and it feels amazing. The way we play football, we deserve to be in this position."

This victory helped Mainz stay four points ahead of Freiburg, who are in fifth place. Freiburg will play RB Leipzig, who are in sixth place, on Saturday. This match is important because both teams are fighting for a place in next season’s Champions League.

Only nine matches are left in the season, and Mainz now have a big chance to qualify for European football. They last played in Europe during the 2016-17 Europa League season. Now, they are hoping to qualify for the UEFA Champions League for the first time in their 120-year history.

For Borussia Moenchengladbach, this loss was a setback. They are now in eighth place with 37 points, just one point behind Leipzig, who hold the last European qualification spot.

Eintracht Frankfurt will play Union Berlin on Sunday. If they win, they will move back ahead of Mainz into third place. The race for Champions League spots is getting more exciting as the season comes closer to the end.
