😳 What's going on here? Mainz lead by just one despite scoring four
This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence. You can read the original version in 🇩🇪 here.
1. FSV Mainz 05 is really going for it today. Although they have a tough opponent in runner-up Bayer Leverkusen, the 05ers have been stepping on the gas pedal with both feet since the first minute and have already managed to get the ball past Hradecky four times. Nevertheless, the score is only 1:0. What's going on?!
The VAR is at it again. Both Amiri's goal in the 18th minute and Lee's goal in the 30th minute were (rightly) ruled out by the video referee. In the 33rd minute, when Hanche-Olsen pushed the ball over the line, Cologne's Keller had something to complain about. Leverkusen goalkeeper Hradecky had already touched the ball beforehand. A complete breakdown for Henriksen's team?Not at all! Just two minutes later, Paul Nebel put FSV in the lead after all, four goals later. This time also guaranteed without VAR. The Mainz team is really on a roll today 📈💪.

Brentford sells Flekken to Bayer Leverkusen and signs Kelleher as replacement goalie
LONDON (AP) — Brentford sold Mark Flekken to Bayer Leverkusen on Tuesday and immediately announced a replacement goalkeeper, bringing in Caoimhin Kelleher from Liverpool. Flekken, a Netherlands international, signed a three-year deal for an undisclosed fee and will work under fellow Dutchman Erik ten Hag, the former Manchester United coach who recently joined Leverkusen.

'Mark Flekken possesses a wide range of skills that a goalkeeper in modern top-flight football needs," Leverkusen sporting director Simon Rolfes said. 'He has strong reflexes, good control of the penalty area, and, thanks to his height of 1.95 meters, has tremendous reach.' The 31-year-old Flekken spent two years at Brentford, making 77 appearances for the Premier League club. 'We were expecting Mark to be our goalkeeper for many more years, however when Bayer Leverkusen made it known that they wanted to do this transfer, and Mark made it clear that he was interested in moving closer to home and with a possibility of Champions League football, we turned our attention towards how all parties could make this happen," Brentford director of football Phil Giles said.

'To be able to contribute my qualities to a top German club with ambitious national and European goals now makes me very happy," Flekken said.
