Fábio Vieira free-kick earns Hamburg draw in Mainz
Both sides entered the match in good form, with HSV unbeaten in five league outings and the hosts having won their last three home games under 60th birthday boy Urs Fischer. The match started 10 minutes late after traffic problems delayed Hamburg's arrival, but once underway, it developed into an absorbing contest between two evenly matched sides with plenty at stake in their push for top-flight survival.
Mainz started brightly with Silas Katompa Mvumpa causing problems down the left. As the half progressed, Hamburg grew into the match with Vieira testing Daniel Batz from distance. The breakthrough came in the 42nd minute when Nadiem Amiri met Danny da Costa's cross with a sublime first-time volley into the corner beyond Daniel Heuer Fernandes.
