Paul Nebel, Dominik Kohr and Nadiem Amiri scored for Mainz, who moved up to third place, at least until Sunday, with their fourth win in a row. For Gladbach, Stefan Lainer could only reduce the deficit to 1-2 with a quarter of an hour remaining.

For coach Gerardo Seoane's hosts, Jonas Omlin started for the second time since mid-September behind Nico Elvedi after serving his red ban. The Swiss goalkeeper twisted his ankle in the early stages after an aerial duel, but remained uninjured. He was powerless in the goals conceded. At Mainz, Silvan Widmer was substituted in the closing stages.
