On Saturday afternoon, Mainz faced the already relegated
Duisburg in an away Bundesliga encounter. The game was
the last for Mohamed Zidan for Mainz as he will return
to Werder Bremen after it as the season is already over.
The clash ended in a 0-0 draw. However, the match was
full of excitement and lost chances. Zizou played a
very good match and was unlucky with the chances that
he got as the goalkeeper of Duisburg excelled and saved
many real chances.
On the other side, Mainz goalkeeper Wache also excelled
and saved a penalty kick for Duisburg later on in the
2nd half that could give the three points to Duisburg.
Zidan played the game from the start to end alongside
the striker Benjamin Auer. It took Zizou a few minutes
to get his first chances in the game. The ball was played
long to the onside Egyptian who managed to trick his
marker twice before firing a shot into the top corner.
However, Duisburg's goalkeeper made an excellent fingertip
save and turned Zidan's shot away for a corner.
A few minutes later, another long pass was played to
Zidan, he controlled the ball well on his chest and
crossed low to Auer who escaped his marker and tried
to bury the ball home with his left but the goalkeeper
parried his shot and prevented another real goal for
Mainz.
In the 2nd half, Mainz got a real chance to score through
a powerful shot from the Brazilian midfielder Da Silva
but the goalkeeper made a fantastic save and turned
the shot away for a corner.

Just a few minutes from the final whistle, Zidan got another
chance to win the game for Mainz but the goalkeeper and
the foot of the post denied him from scoring. The ball fell
to the Egyptian just outside the box and he sent a low shot
at goal, the goalkeeper got a hand it it and then the post
denied the goal.

their 11th spot in the table. Aside from this, Werder Bremen

1-2 away win over Hamburg. The win meant that Werder will
