Mainz Upsets Bayern Munich with 2-1 Victory

Mainz delivered a surprising 2-1 victory over Bayern Munich, marking Vincent Kompany's first league defeat as Bayern's coach. South Korean forward Lee Jae-sung was instrumental, scoring both goals for Mainz, capitalizing on Bayern's defensive errors. Bayern, missing several key players due to injury including Harry Kane and Manuel Neuer, struggled to convert possession into goals, as evidenced by their lackluster performance. Leroy Sané managed a late goal for Bayern, but Mainz held firm, moving them up to sixth place in the Bundesliga standings. Meanwhile, Bayer Leverkusen narrowed the gap at the top of the table with a 2-0 win over Augsburg, posing a potential challenge to Bayern's lead. Mainz's victory continued their strong home record against Bayern, having won three of their last four encounters at Mewa Arena.
