Borussia Dortmund suffered a 3-1 defeat to Mainz on Saturday, despite a determined effort from Guinean international Serhou Guirassy, who scored his ninth goal of the season. The Bundesliga clash, part of the season’s tenth matchday, saw Dortmund struggle after going down to ten men in the first half, setting the stage for Mainz to capitalize.

The pivotal moment came in the 27th minute when Dortmund’s Emre Can was sent off, leaving his side to contend with numerical inferiority for the majority of the game.

Mainz took full advantage, breaking the deadlock in the 36th minute and putting the Dortmund defense under continuous pressure.

Dortmund, however, found a glimmer of hope before halftime. Guirassy, who has been in fine form this season, stepped up to convert a penalty, leveling the score at 1-1.

His composed finish underscored his impressive run, marking his ninth goal in just 13 matches across all competitions this season.

Despite Dortmund’s resilience, Mainz reclaimed control in the second half, exploiting their advantage with two more goals to secure a 3-1 victory.

Dortmund’s efforts to break through Mainz’s defense fell short, as the hosts managed to hold off any further advances from the short-handed team.

This loss leaves Borussia Dortmund with 16 points and temporarily positions them in seventh place in the Bundesliga standings, a disappointing outcome as they aim to keep pace with the league’s frontrunners.

Guirassy’s goal provided a brief lifeline, but the setback highlights Dortmund’s challenges as they navigate a season marked by highs and lows.

Dortmund will now look to rebound and regroup as they prepare for upcoming matches, hoping to climb back up the standings.
