"Of all teams for Bayern Munich to have slipped up against in Bundesliga, a struggling Mainz side surely wasn't on too many people's bingo cards, but they dropped points to them at the Allianz Arena, drawing level at 2-2. It took a late Harry Kane penalty for the German Rekordmeister to even salvage a point as it looked like Daniel Batz's heroics in goal for Mainz were going to leave Bayern with blushed faces on their last home match of the year."
"To add to the frustration of the draw, Laimer received a yellow card in 77th minute after his arm accidentally made contact with what appeared to be a Lee Jae-sung's shoulder area as the two leapt into the air to win the ball. After seeing the slow-motion replay during the live broadcast of the match, a yellow card seemed a bit harsh for the Austrian international, who had hardly been whistled for anything in the 14 minutes that he had been on the pitch before the challenge occurred."
Bayern Munich drew 2-2 with Mainz at the Allianz Arena after a late Harry Kane penalty rescued a point. Mainz converted both of their on-target chances: a Kacper Potulski header from a free kick and a Lee Jae-sung header from a lobbed pass by Stefan Bell. Bayern had ten shots on target but scored only once from open play while Mainz goalkeeper Daniel Batz produced several notable saves. Vincent Kompany made multiple second-half substitutions including Pavlović, Upamecano, Laimer, Jackson and Davies. Konrad Laimer received a 77th-minute yellow and will miss the next match versus Heidenheim due to accumulation.
