Mainz 05 beats Union Berlin 2-1, easing relegation pressure with Barreiro and Lee Jae-un's goals.

Mainz 05 have secured their place in the Bundesliga for another season after defeating Union Berlin 2-1 at the Commerzbank-Arena on Saturday. The win was a major boost to the club's relegation battle, as they had been struggling to stay up this season.

The match saw Mainz take control early on, with Barreiro and Lee Jae-un scoring two impressive goals within the first half hour. Union Berlin struggled to find a foothold in the game, and were eventually punished by Mainz's attacking prowess.

Barreiro's goal came just three minutes into the second half, while Lee Jae-un scored his first goal since January to put Mainz ahead. The victory means that Mainz now has a comfortable lead over the bottom four teams, and will be hoping to finish the season strongly to secure a spot in the top flight next year.

Despite the win, there is still work to be done for Mainz, who will face Hoffenheim and Greuther Fürth in their final two matches of the season. However, with their current form and confidence levels, they will be hopeful of securing a safe place in the Bundesliga next term.

Overall, it was a good result for Mainz, and one that will help ease some of the relegation pressure on the team. They will now look forward to the final stretch of the season, and hope to finish strong enough to avoid the drop.
