Bayern Munich once again secured three points to continue their lead at the top of the Bundesliga points table. Their title run is going strong at the moment. They will be looking to keep their current run of form going.

Catch Every Update, Anytime, Anywhere
1. Joshua Kimmich with an early lead for Bayern
It was the captain who put Bayern Munich in front with a one-goal advantage in just the 14th minute of the game. It was a powerful strike by Joshua Kimmich, who fired the ball into the back of the net after receiving a key pass from Harry Kane. This early goal surely helped the German giants to dictate the tempo.
It piled up a lot of pressure on the hosts.
2. Bayern Munich now 31 games unbeaten away from home
The Bavarians lost their last Bundesliga away game in December 2024. With a 2-0 victory against Mainz at the MEWA ARENA, Bayern Munich are now on a 31-game away unbeaten streak. This puts them just two games shy of the club’s all-time Bundesliga record of 33 matches set between 2012 and 2014.
The German giants came up with a strong performance against Mainz 05 to secure three crucial points and maintain their lead at the top of the league table.
3. Harry Kane continues to be a strong force in attack
Even though the Ballon d’Or winner was not on the score sheet for Bayern Munich, he displayed a strong performance for his side and helped them secure three crucial points. Harry Kane now has just four goals to his name this Bundesliga season.
However, he has already secured eight assists in nine league games. The 33-year-old continues to be a strong force in the final third for the Bavarians.
4. Phillip Tietz goal a pure consolation
Mainz 05 got multiple chances to fire the ball at the back of the net, but they lacked the finishing touch on the attacking front. Phillip Tietz came up with a goal in the 90+3′. It was not enough for the hosts to avoid defeat. Urs Fischer’s men came up with 11 attempts.
Only one of them hit the target. They surely need an improvement in their strategy at this point.

The Bavarians have extended their undefeated run in the Bundesliga 2026-27 season. In their first nine games of the campaign, they have six wins and three draws to their name. This 2-1 win against Mainz has helped them secure three points.
