Mainz Women defeated Werder Bremen 34-22 in the 2. Bundesliga women's competition on Friday evening. The result leaves the visitors unbeaten after two matches while the hosts remain winless in the opening round.
Werder Bremen currently occupy 14th place with two draws and no points from their first two fixtures. Mainz Women sit third on the table with four points from two consecutive victories.
The visitors have shown consistency since the campaign began, winning both opening matches without dropping a single point. Their away form suggests they could challenge for a higher position as the season progresses.
Werder Bremen's previous encounters against Mainz include a 30-32 defeat on 18 April, and this latest result extends the gap between the two sides. The hosts will need to find better form to close the difference.
The final scoreline reflects Mainz's control throughout the encounter, with the visitors maintaining their advantage from start to finish. Werder Bremen must now regroup and improve their defensive structure.
