"Regarding the manner of conceding goals by the Bavarians, executive for sport Max Eberl commented, "They executed that one counter-attack very, very well. Basically, they had two actions: the set piece and the second goal against them, and suddenly it's 1-2. And you think: Yes, why? How can that be? But that's exactly football." (via FC Bayern) And he is spot on."
"Football is a sport which you can dominate for 89 minutes but if you don't have the goals to show for that, the opponent can take away all that hard work in a single moment. The match against Mainz had a similar script. At no point did Bayern seem to be out of control. The flow of goals seemed inevitable until they were not."
Bayern Munich controlled possession and created numerous chances but settled for a 2-2 draw with FSV Mainz 05 after conceding two goals from brief opportunities. Mainz scored twice from a set piece and a counter-style header, with Kacper Potulski powering an equalizer from a first-half free-kick and Lee Jae-Song heading a second-half goal. Harry Kane won a penalty that Bayern converted to salvage a draw. The result exposed a recurring set-piece vulnerability and showed how isolated moments can overturn dominant control. Max Eberl described Mainz's counter-attack execution as exceptionally well-timed and emblematic of football's unpredictability.
