Adi Hutter's side began the day just two points clear of Fortuna Dusseldorf, who occupy the relegation play-off spot after recording one draw and three losses since the Bundesliga's resumption.
However, they shocked Europa League-chasing Wolfsburg, with Andre Silva opening the scoring from the spot just before the half-hour mark. Kevin Mbabu's equaliser appeared to have secured a draw for the Volkswagen Arena hosts, but Daichi Kamada's winner five minutes from time secured the victory, which Frankfurt held on to despite Lucas Torro's stoppage-time red card.
Mainz will be looking over their shoulders after losing 1-0 at home to Hoffenheim, with Ihlas Bebou scoring just five minutes after coming off the bench as a first-half substitute.
Achim Beierlorzer's side now just sit one point ahead of Fortuna Dusseldorf, who face a tough clash against Bayern Munich later on Saturday.
