"We actually played a pretty good first half. It was a matter of game management; we can't let the lead slip away. To concede the equalizer from a set piece just before halftime was very, very annoying. That shouldn't happen to us. That's the only reason the second half was open. Otherwise, it would have been much easier for us."
"It was a tough battle. Luckily, we were able to equalize in the end. Mainz did a really good job. Nevertheless, the expectation from ourselves is to win at home,"
"It's true that Bayern played well for the most part, it's just that two ill-timed lapses turned the game on its head."
Bayern Munich required a late Harry Kane penalty to secure a 2-2 draw with bottom-club Mainz after conceding an equalizer from a set piece just before halftime. The team performed well in the first half but lost control due to game-management errors and two ill-timed lapses. Joshua Kimmich highlighted frustration at conceding from a set piece and emphasized the club's expectation to win at home. Mainz produced a resilient performance, and Bayern's defending on set pieces remains an area that needs improvement.
