BERLIN, April 30 -- Mainz upset Leipzig after winning 3-0 on home soil, while Borussia Dortmund shared the spoils with Werder Bremen following a 1-1 draw at the closer of the 32nd round in Bundesliga on Sunday.
Relegation threatened Mainz reaped crucial points to avoid relegation after goals from Pablo De Blasis, Alexandru Maxim and Ridle Baku edged Leipzig, who lost their second game in row.
Leipzig took the reins from the kick off and controlled the proceedings on the pitch. Mainz lacked in penetration, but Leipzig squandered two opportunities as Yussuf Poulsen failed to slot home Ademola Looksman's cross before Timo Werner's shot on the empty goal was cleared off the line.
However, it was the hosts who opened the scoring against the run of the game with a foul-play penalty. Yoshinori Muto was felled inside the box allowing Pablo De Blasis to net the opener from the spot at 29 minutes played.
Leipzig missed another chance before the break as Naby Keita pulled wide from a promising position in the dying seconds of the first half.
After the restart, Leipzig continued on the front foot but they lacked in accuracy and ideas to overcome Mainz well-positioned defence. Meanwhile the hosts staged a clinical chance conversion as substitute Alexandru Maxim poked home the 2-0 lead following a back-heel pass from Muto in the 85th minute.
Nevertheless, Mainz weren't done with the scoring and added another goal to their lead as Ridle Baku rounded off his first Bundesliga appearance with a goal to make it 3-0 on the scoreboards in the closing period.
