Da Costa own goal sinks bottom club Mainz in home reverse to Borussia
Mnchengladbach
MAINZ, Germany (AP) --- Mainz remain rooted to the bottom of the Bundesliga
after a Danny da Costa own goal gave visitor Borussia Mnchengladbach a 1-0
victory on Friday.
Mainz had never lost any of its previous five Friday night Bundesliga games and
Gladbach had not won any of its seven but those runs were halted by Da Costa's
unfortunate second half goal.
Haris Tabakovic's 58th-minute header was sailing wide until it struck the Mainz
defender and wrongfooted his own keeper.
Nelson Weiper had chances to score for Mainz but wasted them and Nicolas Moritz
was smart between the posts for the visitor as Mainz's winless league run
extended to nine games.
It remained in last place in the 20-team table with six points, one behind St.
Pauli.
Gladbach climbed to ninth.
