1. FSV Mainz 05 demonstrated strong form ahead of the upcoming season, securing a convincing 4-0 victory over French Ligue 2 side Paris FC in a friendly match.

The goals for the German Bundesliga team came from Fabio Gruber in the 20th minute, Phillip Tietz in the 32nd, Ransford Königsdörffer via a penalty in the 82nd, and Kacper Potulski in the 87th minute. Paris FC featured former Eintracht Frankfurt goalkeeper Kevin Trapp, who was unable to prevent the two first-half goals.

Gruber opened the scoring with an impressive bicycle kick, while Tietz doubled the lead with a long-range shot from approximately 40 meters, surprising Trapp. The visitors offered little resistance, allowing Mainz to extend their advantage. The win keeps Mainz undefeated in their pre-season test matches.

Their final preparation match before the season commences will be against AFC Bournemouth next Saturday. Bournemouth is managed by former Mainz player and coach Marco Rose and recently finished sixth in the Premier League, qualifying for the Europa League.
