ANDRE Schuerrle scored twice and set up another goal on Sunday to lead Mainz to a come-from-behind 4-2 win at Hamburger SV that lifts his side into fourth place in the Bundesliga.
Schuerrle equalized in the 56th minute and gave his side the lead in the 81st before and setting up Florian Heller in the 88th.
Marcell Jansen opened the scoring for Hamburg in controversial fashion, his volley crashing off the crossbar in front of the line in the 17th.
Despite Mainz protests, referee Babak Rafati allowed the goal stand.
"I am a total advocate for the goal line being monitored electronically," Mainz coach Thomas Tuchel said.
Hamburg coach Armin Veh concurred. "There is no longer a coach who isn't for it," he said.
"We've already been asking for it for so long, but nothing happens."
The home side was denied a penalty after the interval when Jose Pablo Guerrero went down under the challenge of Bo Svensson.
Schuerrle equalized after getting ahead of Dennis Aogo to head past goalkeeper Frank Rost, but Malden Petric reclaimed the lead for Hamburg three minutes later, when Guerrero laid the ball back for the Croat.
Mainz equalized again when Hamburg's Gojko Kacar's attempted clearance from Marcel Risse's speculative cross deflected past his own goalkeeper in the 61st.
Schuerrle collected Eugen Polanski's pass in his own half as Hamburg pressed for a winner, sprinted toward goal and lifted the ball over Rost. There was still time for him to set up Heller's first Bundesliga goal.
Mainz rises to fourth, one point ahead of Bayern with nine rounds left to play.
Hamburg dropped to seventh.
