Mohamed Zidan and Mainz fought bravely
against Werder and hold them to a draw in the first
half. However, the homeside managed to score in the
2nd half through Vranjes and made the job difficult
for Zidan and his teammates. Zidan played a very good
first half and lacked support in the 2nd. Werder's 2nd
goal came through Almeida who scored an easy goal from
counter attack as all Mainz players including their
keeper went forward to attack.

Mohamed Zidan faced his previous club
Werder Bremen in an exciting away encounter on Sunday.
Mainz proved that they are not much behind Werder and
caused alot of problems for the home team.
The game started with pressure from the
Werder side who almost scored from a shot by Diego but
the post denied him.
The pressure continued from Werder till
the 15th minute then Mainz started to look stronger
and challenged the homeside with their counter attacks
and long range shots which proved to be extremely dangerous.
Zidan, at this stage, played very well
and took advantage of the spaces. He had a powerful
shot at goal that was denied by the goalkeeper and also
he laid the ball superbly to Andreasen but the latter
shot wide from the edge of the box.
In the 2nd half, Bremen intensified their
pressure on Mainz and created more chances, they also
closed the gaps in their defense and so, Zidan couldn't
find much space for him to cause danger.

The Egyptian also lacked support completely, he took good
positions for his teammates and supported them well, but
Mainz midfielders and forwards didn' provide Zidan with
any good passes.
Werder managed to score their first goal through
Vranjes who fired the ball into the bottom corner after
a low pass from the right wing.
The match would end in a 1-0 win for Werder
but Klopp asked all his players including the goalkeeper
Wache to push forward and his plan almost worked as Werder
goalkeeper made a great save in the stoppage time to deny
a powerful shot from the right side of the area.
However, the goal came in the other end as
Werder started a fast counter attack and the ball reached
Diego who had no problems burying the ball into the empty
net as Wache was busy trying to score for Mainz.
