"Harry Kane converted from the spot late in the second half to rescue a point for Bayern. After playing his strong XI against Sporting Lisbon on Tuesday, Vincent Kompany decided to make several changes to the team against Mainz. There was a new center-back partnership as Kim Min-jae and Hiroki Ito started in the heart of defense. Meanwhile, Tom Bischof slotted in the left-back position."
"After soaking up initial pressure, Mainz created the first big chance of the game in the 18th minute. Nikolas Veratschniga and Benedict Hollerbach combined well from a throw-in, which eventually saw the former deliver a pinpoint cross in the box to find Stefan Bell. The German defender's header was deflected by Ito onto the frame of the goal. Harry Kane had a header saved from close range a minute later."
