Mainz 05 secured their place in the Bundesliga with a hard-fought victory over Union Berlin on Saturday night.

The match was tightly contested from start to finish, but Mainz emerged victorious thanks to goals from Barreiro and Lee Jae-sung. The latter's goal was particularly important as it helped to ease the pressure on the club to avoid relegation.

Despite conceding early, Mainz were able to create chances and eventually find the net through two well-taken goals. The first came from Barreiro's header, while Lee Jae-sung scored his second goal for the club this season.

The win means that Mainz now have a comfortable lead at the top of the table, and they will be looking to continue their impressive form when they take on Eintracht Frankfurt next weekend. However, there is still work to do if they want to secure a place in the Bundesliga next season.

Overall, it was a solid performance from Mainz, who showed great character and determination throughout the game. With their win, they have eased some of the pressure on themselves and given themselves a fighting chance of avoiding relegation.
