Urs Fischer notches up his first win as Mainz coach.
The Zurich native led the Bundesliga club to a 2-0 home win over Samsunspor at the end of the Conference League phase and thus straight into the round of 16.
Silvan Widmer scored shortly before the break after a fine run down the left flank to make it 1-0. It was the second goal of the season for the Swiss captain of the Bundesliga bottom club. Nadiem Amiri made it 2-0 shortly after the break with a penalty.
Urs Fischer's record after three games is impressive, with one win and two draws, including one against Bayern Munich.
