On Sunday, VfL Wolfsburg secured their first win in the Bundesliga season so far with a convincing 2-0 victory over Mainz 05 at home. The match was a must-win for Wolfsburg, who were currently sitting in the bottom half of the table and facing the threat of relegation.

The game started well for Wolfsburg as they took control of the midfield and created several chances for their attackers. However, it wasn't until the second half that the breakthrough came. In the 64th minute, Enner Valencia scored his first goal for the club, putting the visitors ahead with a powerful shot from distance.

Just three minutes later, the lead was doubled as Arnold scored his first goal since joining Wolfsburg earlier this year. His header into the top corner gave Wolfsburg a commanding 2-0 lead, effectively ending any hopes of a comeback for Mainz.
