Mainz 05 Beats VfL Bochum 3-0: Lee Jae-sung, Barreiro, Onisiwo Score

On Sunday night, Mainz 05 secured their first win in the Bundesliga this season with a dominant performance against VfL Bochum at the Commerzbank-Arena.

The match was dominated by Mainz throughout, with Lee Jae-sung and Barreiro scoring two goals each to put the visitors ahead early on. Onisiwo also added a third goal for Mainz late in the second half, sealing the victory for the home side.

Lee Jae-sung's first-half strike was a real highlight, as he took advantage of a mistake from Bochum's goalkeeper to score his first league goal since January 2019. The midfielder's shot from outside the box found the back of the net, giving Mainz a commanding lead going into halftime.

Barreiro's brace came in the 47th and 66th minutes, respectively, as he scored twice in just over 30 minutes of play. The Brazilian forward has been one of the most consistent performers for Mainz this season, and his goal-scoring prowess will be crucial as they look to secure their place in the top flight.

Overall, Mainz 05 showed their class against VfL Bochum, with their attacking threat causing problems for the hosts all evening. They now have some momentum going into their next game, which is away at Augsburg on Wednesday. With a strong squad that includes Lee Jae-sung, Barreiro, and Onisiwo, Mainz 05 have the potential to challenge for European football next season.
