Match Report
FSV Mainz 05 produced a stunning first half to lead 3–0 at the break, with Dominik Kohr, Paul Nebel, and Sheraldo Becker all finding the net before the interval. Mainz dominated possession at 70% and looked well on course for a memorable victory, though Kohr picked up a yellow card shortly after his opener and Konrad Laimer was also cautioned for Bayern.
The second half told an entirely different story. Bayern, who had made two substitutions at half-time, launched a remarkable comeback with four unanswered goals. Nicolas Jackson started the fightback in the 53rd minute, before Michael Olise, Jamal Musiala, and Harry Kane struck in a breathless spell between the 73rd and 83rd minutes to complete the turnaround. Bayern's 21 total shots to Mainz's 11 underlined their persistent threat throughout, and their expected goals figure of 2.69 ultimately proved a more accurate reflection of the contest.
Our pre-match AI model had rated a Bayern win as the most likely outcome at 58%, a call that proved correct despite the dramatic circumstances. The result keeps Bayern firmly in contention at the top of the Bundesliga.
