Mainz 2 - 1 Darmstadt: Yunus Malli on the spot as Mainz beat local rivals Darmstadt



Posted Monday, October 17, 2016 by PA

Pablo de Blasis and Yunus Malli were on target as Mainz beat local rivals Darmstadt 2-1.

Both sides scored a penalty but Antonio Colak's miss from the spot before half-time proved crucial as Mainz moved up to seventh in the Bundesliga.

The hosts took the lead in the fifth minute when De Blasis turned in Gaetan Bussmann's pass to finish off an excellent team move.

Jhon Cordoba missed several chances to double the lead, hitting the crossbar with one header, before Colak wasted the chance to level on the stroke of half-time when his penalty was saved by Jonas Lossl.

Martin Schmidt's men doubled their advantage with a penalty of their own, dispatched by Malli in the 56th minute, before Colak's miserable day continued when he missed an open goal midway through the second half.

Jerome Gondorf did find the net, converting a stoppage-time penalty, but it was too late for Darmstadt.
