Hoffenheim and Mainz have played out a goalless draw in the Bundesliga at the Wirsol Rhein-Neckar Arena.
Roberto Firmino had the first chance of the game after 11 minutes with a shot from distance, but he failed to keep it on target.
Mainz were unlucky not to make the breakthrough five minutes later as Nikolce Noveski's header from close range came off the Hoffenheim post.
Joselu tested Christian Wetklo on the half-hour mark, before Daniel Williams's speculative effort went high.
Chances were few and far between in the second half, with Mainz's Shawn Parker putting Hoffenheim goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes under pressure on two occasions.
Mainz were denied from the frame of the Hoffenheim goal again on 74 minutes, this time Zdenek Pospech smashing his shot from outside the box against the crossbar.
