"Bayern Munich and the home crowd were taken aback by the execution of FSV Mainz 05 to heist a couple of goals from nowhere. While Bayern started strong and were the team in control, Mainz hardly felt the need to control the game to be in control of it. After seizing the second goal with a screaming header by Lee Jae-Song,"
"Speaking post the game the duo commented on the result (via FC Bayern) and the resulting disappointment in not finishing the job. "It's really difficult today. Before the game, I would have definitely liked to take a point from Munich. But when you're leading 2-1 until the end, you obviously want to take all three points. That's why I'm still a bit disappointed, but I think I'll see it differently tomorrow," said Da Costa."
"Goalkeeper Daniel Batz had a crucial outing for Mainz. His eight saves played a vital role in preventing the Bavarians from turning their dominance into goals. "It's a bit annoying because we were leading 2-1. But if someone had told us we'd take a point away from the Allianz Arena, we would have signed up for it. Yes, it was a good team performance from all of us. We gave it our all and kept creating chances," said Batz."
Bayern Munich dominated early but FSV Mainz 05 scored two unexpected goals to lead 2-1, including a screaming header by Lee Jae-Song.

Harry Kane converted a late penalty to level the match and deny Mainz all three points. Mainz players expressed mixed feelings: satisfaction at securing a point at the Allianz Arena and disappointment at not holding on for the win. Mainz displayed clinical finishing from Potulski and Lee and effective crossing from Stefan Bell.
