"Bayern Munich were held to a 2-2 draw with relegation threatened Mainz in a match where Bayern unsurprisingly dominated but failed to make the most out of."
"Harry Kane scored a late penalty to save his team from embarrassment, or at least soften the blow, and reiterated how Bayern had the game by the neck but just couldn't put it to bed."
"We came out of the break dominant again but lacked the last touch. They then scored a nice goal, and we had to fight back. Mainz fought hard and gave it their all; they did a good job. We've had a lot of games in a short period, but that's no excuse. Of course, we wanted to go into the winter break with two wins. A draw at home is disappointing, but we have to accept it and move on."
