O Elversberg, estreante na elite alemã, segue surpreendendo. Nesta sexta-feira, em casa, passou por cima do Mainz: 4 a 1, pela 8ª rodada.
Com o resultado, o time chegou a 13 pontos e subiu para o quinto lugar, ultrapassando justamente o adversário, que ficou com 10, em oitavo.
No 4-2-3-1, o Elversberg resolveu cedo. Felix Keidel abriu o placar aos sete minutos; aos 26, Francis Onyeka ampliou depois de passe de David Mokwa. Antes do intervalo, Maurice Krattenmacher fez o terceiro. A posse de bola terminou em 54% a 46% para os donos da casa.
O Mainz cometeu 22 faltas contra oito do rival e, aos 18 da segunda etapa, tentou reagir trocando quatro jogadores de uma vez. Aos 20, teve um gol anulado pelo VAR. O quarto do Elversberg saiu dos pés de dois reservas: Nicholas Mickelson deu a assistência e Cole Campbell marcou.
O Mainz descontou aos 47 da etapa final, com Benedict Hollerbach, mas ainda viu Stefan Posch receber vermelho direto.
Na próxima rodada, o Elversberg visita o Borussia Dortmund e o Mainz recebe o Bayern de Munique.
