Confident performance
The past is never forgotten, but a solid win can help heal the wounds. On March 30, 2025, in Matchday 27 of the Bundesliga, Borussia Dortmund defeated Mainz 05 with a confident 3–1 scoreline at Signal Iduna Park. For the Black and Yellow faithful, this wasn’t just another three points — it was a small but satisfying redemption for the heartbreaking 2–2 draw on the final matchday of the 2022/23 season, which cost them the title.
This time, Dortmund didn’t leave any room for surprises. The team played with confidence, intensity, and — crucially — composure. They went into halftime with the lead and kept the pressure on after the break, eventually sealing a deserved victory, despite a few bright moments from Mainz.
In terms of the standings, this was a big win: Borussia solidified its position in the Champions League zone, while Mainz — despite a historically strong season — was clearly second-best on the day.
Mainz: a strong side, just not today
Bo Svensson’s men came out determined, but couldn’t cope with the pace and quality imposed by Dortmund. Their defense struggled, and their attack lacked precision. The lone goal they managed to score was merely a consolation — it had no impact on the final outcome.
