Duesseldorf missed the chance to move towards safety, as they battled to a dramatic 2-2 draw against 10-man Hoffenheim. Goals from Moussa Niakhate and Pierre Kunde Malong gave Mainz a rare win over local rivals Eintracht Frankfurt. Having sealed a crucial win with his 77th-minute strike, Cameroon international Kunde also joined the protests, taking a knee in place of a celebration. "I think it's good. It isn't a political statement, it's just a position, and these are values that we have. For me, there is no other possible position to take," said Mainz sporting director Rouven Schroeder.
