A brilliant hat trick from Yunus Malli gave Mainz a 3-1 comeback victory over Hoffenheim in the Bundesliga.
Yunus Malli scored a stunning hat trick as Mainz moved up to third in the Bundesliga with a 3-1 home win over struggling Hoffenheim on Friday.
The attacking midfielder had come into the game having scored two goals in two games and netted a brilliant treble to leave the visitor still without a win from its first five.
It was Hoffenheim who raced into a 13th-minute lead when Jonathan Schmid latched on to Eugen Polanski's throughball and calmly finished inside the near post.
