Ermedin Demirovic converted a penalty after Mainz defender Alexander Hack was adjudged to have handled the ball in the area.

Augsburg continued to dominate the game after the break, and they doubled their lead in the 65th minute. This time, it was Ruben Vargas who found the net with a well-taken finish. Mainz had few chances to get back into the game, and they ultimately suffered a deserved defeat.
