Bayern rally to hold lowly Mainz 2-2

Bavarian giants’ charge towards Bundesliga slowed down

Last updated:

Munich: Bayern Munich was held for a second successive Bundesliga game, with the leader twice coming from behind against lowly Mainz to recover a 2-2 draw on Saturday. It was another setback for Bayern following Tuesday’s Champions League quarter-final exit at Real Madrid, but the German title still looks to be Bayern’s for a fifth consecutive season. Bayern duo Arjen Robben and Thiago Alcantara cancelled out Bojan Krkic’s second-minute opener and then Daniel Brosinski’s penalty just before the break. Borussia Dortmund’s 3-2 win at Borussia Moenchengladbach courtesy of Raphael Guerreiro’s 87th-minute goal lifted Thomas Tuchel’s side up to third, five points behind Leipzig.
