VfL Wolfsburg triumphs over Mainz 05, securing promotion push ahead of relegation threat.

VfL Wolfsburg has secured their place in the Bundesliga for another season with a hard-fought victory over Mainz 05 on Saturday afternoon.

The match was a crucial one for both sides as they were fighting for survival in the league table. VfL Wolfsburg had already confirmed their safety earlier this month, but it looked like Mainz 05 would be relegated to the second tier if they lost to the German side.

However, VfL Wolfsburg fought back from behind and secured a 2-1 win, thanks to goals from Timo Werner and Yussuf Poulsen. The victory means that VfL Wolfsburg have now secured their spot in the Bundesliga for another season, while Mainz 05's hopes of staying up were dashed.

The win also puts VfL Wolfsburg in a strong position to challenge for the title next season. They finished third in the Bundesliga last term and will be looking to bounce back into the top flight.

Meanwhile, Mainz 05 will have to start the new season afresh without their star player, Timo Werner. The striker left the club at the end of the season due to personal reasons, which means that the team will have to rely on other players to step up and fill his shoes.

Overall, it was a tough day for Mainz 05, who were unable to secure their place in the Bundesliga despite having a good chance of doing so. However, they can take comfort in knowing that they have a strong squad and should be able to compete in the second tier next season.
