Bayern Munich suffered their first defeat this season in the German league, when they lost 2-1 to Mainz in the fourteenth round.
The match that took place at the Mainz stadium during which the home team took the lead with two goals by Jae-Sung Lee in the 41st and 60th minutes, while Bayern Munich’s only goal came through Leroy Sane in the 87th minute.
Thus, the Bavarian club’s hopes of repeating the historic achievement recorded in the name of Bayer Leverkusen, by achieving the Bundesliga title without defeat, which is what Xabi Alonso’s squad did next year, ended.
With this defeat, the German league also ignited, as the fall of the southern club coincided with Bayer Leverkusen’s victory over its host Augsburg 2-0.
Bayern Munich’s balance froze at 33 points at the top, while Leverkusen is in second place with 29 points.
If Eintracht Frankfurt beat Leipzig on Sunday, the Eagles will be just three points behind the leaders with one round to go before the winter break.
The defeat to Mainz adds to the pressure on coach Vincent Kompany, especially after the German Cup exit the week before last against Leverkusen at the Allianz Arena, with the Bavarian giants’ recent performances heavily criticised.
