Ultimately that was it Goal by Nelson Weiper (18) in the first legthat has decided!
In front of 5200 spectators (!) in the Franz Kremer Stadium in Cologne, the U19 ranged from Mainz 05 drew 0-0 in the second leg at FC Bayern following last Sunday’s 1-0 win.
Finaaaale!!!
The boys of coach Benjamin Hoffmann (43) celebrate exuberantly following the final whistle: The final of the German A-Youth Championship has been reached! And then on Sunday, April 23 at 11 a.m. probably once morest Borussia Dortmund (won the first leg at Hertha 4-0) in the Mainz Arena. It would be a repeat of the 2009 final, when Mainz won 2-1 once morest Dortmund under the then A youth coach Thomas Tuchel (49).

Friday followingnoon in Cologne, however, had to be trembling for a long time. Everything might have been much clearer for Mainz following just two minutes: Weiper hits the post with a great lob, and goalkeeper Blazic then keeps Kaygin’s follow-up shot strong.
And although the initial phase is much more balanced this time than in the first leg in Mainz, and 05 keeper Aki Koch also has to prove his skills, the ball is suddenly in the Cologne goal: Weiper shoots a free kick from the right over the line (24′). . But the referee has something once morest the 05 lead, whistles offside. The hand might also have been in play… On the other side, Koch held strong once morest Diehl (37th), saving the 0-0 at half-time.
The 05ers, who can no longer do much for the offensive themselves, have to survive two big moments of shock following the break.
56 minutes: A long ball to Diehl, who runs away from the Mainz back line – Koch falls out of his goal, but the FC talent shoots wide of his goal. 69 minutes: After a cross from the right, Diehl is completely free once more, but aims too imprecisely once more – the ball misses to the right.
But there was also a drop of bitterness: Koch, who had already received a yellow card in the final phase because of time wasting, is thrown off the field following the final whistle in a pack formation with yellow-red!
