Borussia Mönchengladbach continue their good run. Gerardo Seoane's team, unbeaten in five games, won 2-0 against St. Pauli and are now in the top 6.
Alassane Pléa and Tim Kleindienst scored to give Borussia Mönchengladbach a home win against the promoted side and a European Cup place after an unsuccessful start to the season. It was the seventh Bundesliga goal of the season for Kleindienst, who scored twice in Germany's 7-0 win over Bosnia-Herzegovina eight days ago.
The two Swiss players in the team fared less well: Jonas Omlin and Nico Elvedi watched the game from the substitutes' bench. For Mainz, Silvan Widmer came on for a good ten minutes in the closing stages. The 3:0 victory at Holstein Kiel was already clear at this point.
