Borussia Dortmund eased to a 3-1 win over visitors Mainz on Sunday with two goals from Maximilian Beier to earn their first win in three league matches as they battle to get back into Champions League contention with seven matches left to play.

Beier tapped in from a Karim Adeyemi cutback in the 39th minute before Emre Can headed in at the far post from a corner three minutes later.

The hosts, who face Barcelona in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final tie on April 9, added a third with a 72nd-minute header by Beier to make sure of the win that lifted them to 10th place on 38 points.

Mainz, who dropped to fourth place on 45, cut the deficit with a goal from Paul Nebel four minutes later. The top four teams win automatic Champions League qualification.
