RB Leipzig will be determined to return to winning ways in the Bundesliga when they host Freiburg on Sunday.
The visitors, meanwhile, remain in the top half of the table despite failing to win either of their last two league matches.
Vaclav Cerny's strike proved enough to send the Wolves through to the third round of Germany's domestic cup, ending Leipzig's recent stranglehold on that competition having lifted it in each of the last two seasons. For Mainz, late goals from Lee Jae-sung and Leandro Barreiro secured their first league victory of the season at the expense of Marco Rose's side.
Die Roten Bullen did manage to bounce back with an impressive 2-1 win away to Red Star Belgrade in the Serbian capital on Tuesday, which secured their progression to the Champions League knockout stages with two games to spare. They will need to upset the odds and win away to the holders Manchester City on the next matchday to stand a chance of topping Group G, but Rose will be delighted with his players' efforts in Europe so far.
