Borussia Monchengladbach 3-4 Mainz: Visitors edge seven-goal thriller

Mainz secured a breathtaking 4-3 victory away at Borussia-Park in a match that saw seven goals across an enthralling 90 minutes. The visitors took an early lead through Jonathan Burkardt, but Gladbach hit back with a double from Marcus Thuram before Mainz restored their advantage through Andre Ramalho.

The second half continued in the same vein, with Robin Quaison making it 3-2 to Mainz, only for Thuram to complete his hat-trick and level the scores once more. But it was Mainz who had the final say, with Burkardt grabbing his second of the game in the 78th minute to seal a memorable win.

The result moves Mainz into the upper echelons of the Bundesliga table, while Borussia Monchengladbach will be disappointed to come away with nothing from a match they contributed so much to offensively. Both sides showed attacking intent throughout, with the game played at a relentless pace.
