The game started off brightly for the visitors, with Mainz 05 leading 1-0 after just under five minutes through a header from Andreas Christensen. However, Bayer Leverkusen quickly responded with a goal of their own, as Lucas Nigro's cross was headed into the net by Lucas Nigro, who converted it into his first goal for the club.

Mainz 05 looked to level the score again shortly after, but were unable to find the back of the net. In the 26th minute, Lucas Nigro made a one-two with Christian Pogba that resulted in a penalty kick that Bayer Leverkusen scored on the other side of the pitch.

In the second half, Mainz continued to push for an equalizer, but were unable to do so. With just over 70 minutes remaining, Bayer Leverkusen scored two goals to seal the win. Lucas Nigro's brace in the 80th minute was enough to complete the rout and secure the victory for Bayer Leverkusen.

Overall, this is another strong performance from Bayer Leverkusen, who continue to impress with their attacking play and defensive solidity. They will look to build upon this result when they face Borussia Dortmund in their next match.
