Scores fifth goal of season
Tietz scored one goal to go with three shots (two on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 1-0 win against Schalke.
Analysis: Tietz scored once from three shots, putting two on target, while creating one chance across 89 minutes in Saturday's 1-0 win at Schalke. He opened the scoring in the 24th minute by converting Anthony Caci's cross before forcing Loris Karius into another excellent save from around 10 yards just 10 minutes later, although he wasted another opportunity to double the lead late in the match. Tietz has now scored five goals through six Bundesliga appearances this season, continuing his impressive start to the campaign while establishing himself as Mainz's primary scoring threat.
Goal and assist
Tietz scored one goal and assisted once from two shots and two chances created in Saturday's 2-0 victory over FC Heidenheim. He was injured and subbed out in the 84th minute.
Analysis: Tietz had a very productive day against Heidernheim, as the forward would record a goal in the seventh minute to open the scoring. However, that was not all, as he would also assist on Nadiem Amiri's 43rd-minute goal, helping on both goals Saturday. Tietz ends the season with eight goal contributions, earning five goals on 46 shots and three assists on 18 chances created in 19 appearances (19 starts).
Scores opener in victory
Tietz scored one goal to go with four shots (one on goal) and one chance created in Sunday's 2-1 victory against FC St. Pauli.
Analysis: Tietz got Mainz on the board early in the sixth minute, pouncing on Eric Smith's loose pass before ripping a low, driven finish into the right corner from 15 meters to put the hosts in a hole they never climbed out of, and he also played a key role in Phillipp Mwene's 40th minute strike by muscling down Daniel Batz's long ball and kicking it out wide to Silvan Widmer on the right flank. He's now up to four Bundesliga goals on the season, and his physical hold-up play set the tone for Mainz's efficient counter-attacking game plan. That presence up top helped keep St. Pauli in check, limiting them to just three shots on target over the full 90 minutes.
