Borussia Dortmund Dominates Mainz 4-0, Extends Unbeaten Streak

DORTMUND (Azat TV) – Borussia Dortmund delivered a commanding 4-0 victory over Mainz 05 at Signal Iduna Park on Friday, February 13, 2026, extending their impressive unbeaten streak in the Bundesliga to 15 matches. The decisive win allowed Dortmund to solidify its second-place position in the league standings, intensifying pressure on leaders Bayern Munich, while simultaneously halting Mainz’s recent three-game winning run.

The match, which kicked off the Bundesliga matchweek, saw Dortmund assert its dominance early, showcasing the form that has made them one of the most formidable teams in the German top flight. Manager Edin Terzić’s side demonstrated clinical finishing and robust defense, securing a vital three points in their pursuit of the league title.

Borussia Dortmund’s Dominant Performance

Borussia Dortmund entered the fixture with significant momentum, having been unbeaten in 14 consecutive Bundesliga matches and winning their last five in succession. This stellar run included scoring 14 goals and keeping two clean sheets, highlighting their offensive prowess and defensive solidity. The match against Mainz further underscored this form, with Dortmund netting four goals without reply. This victory marked their sixth consecutive win in the league, further cementing their status as the Bundesliga’s form side, according to pre-match analysis from BBC Sport.

The club’s home ground, Signal Iduna Park, often referred to as the ‘Yellow Wall,’ proved to be an impenetrable fortress once again. Dortmund has been particularly strong on Friday nights, remaining unbeaten in their last three such fixtures, including previous victories over FC Augsburg and Borussia Monchengladbach.

Implications for Bundesliga Standings

With this resounding 4-0 triumph, Borussia Dortmund reached 51 points from 22 matches, closing the gap on six-point leaders Bayern Munich to just three points, pending Bayern’s own matchday 22 fixture. This result is crucial for Dortmund’s title aspirations, keeping them firmly in contention as the season progresses. The consistent performance under Edin Terzić has positioned the Black and Yellows as serious challengers, demonstrating their intent to compete at the top.

Conversely, the defeat was a setback for Mainz 05, who had been enjoying a resurgence under manager Urs Fischer. Prior to this match, Mainz had secured three consecutive victories, including an impressive 2-1 win away at RB Leipzig, which had lifted them out of the relegation zone for the first time since October. They sat in 14th place with 21 points before the game. The loss at Signal Iduna Park ended their positive streak and means they remain just two points ahead of relegation-threatened clubs like Wolfsburg and Werder Bremen, as reported by Bulinews.

Mainz Manager Acknowledges Defeat

Following the match, Mainz 05 manager Urs Fischer was gracious in defeat, acknowledging the superiority of the opposition. “Congratulations to Niko and his team,” Fischer stated in his post-match interview, referring to Dortmund’s coaching staff. “Over the course of 90 minutes, it was a deserved victory for Dortmund.” He further commented on his team’s performance, noting, “However, I saw a good first half from my team. Defending set pieces is something we’ll take with us. On the one hand, they played it cleverly. But we could’ve defended better with one or two goals. That will be something we’ll be working on in the coming days.” His remarks highlight the areas Mainz will need to address as they prepare to host fellow relegation-threatened Hamburger SV in their next fixture.

Dortmund’s Unbeaten Streak Continues

Borussia Dortmund’s head-to-head record against Mainz 05 has historically favored the Black and Yellows, with Dortmund winning 22 of their 39 encounters across all competitions, compared to Mainz’s seven. Dortmund also secured a 2-0 away victory in the reverse fixture earlier this season, building confidence for the home tie. The team’s ability to maintain their unbeaten run, now stretching to 15 games, showcases their consistency and resilience. This sustained period of strong form is a testament to the tactical discipline and individual brilliance within the squad.

The comprehensive 4-0 victory against Mainz 05 not only extended Borussia Dortmund’s remarkable unbeaten streak but also significantly bolstered their position in the Bundesliga title race, underscoring their capability to deliver dominant performances against both struggling and recently in-form opponents.
