Zidan opened the scoring with a 32nd minute spot kick, Petr Ruman doubled the lead at the stroke of halftime after being set up by Zidan, and Markus Feulner completed the rout on 72 minutes.

Zidan now has 14 goals to his tally, lying fifth in the Bundesliga top scorer charts, which is a unique achievement for an Egyptian player despite the club's poor campaign.

Mainz remain second from bottom on 34 points, leveling on points with Alemania Aachen as the duo are dumped to the Bundesliga 2.

Aachen failed to beat Wolfsburg at home, drawing 2-2, as the latter kept their Bundesliga place, reaching the 37th point.
