Getting closer.
Bayern Munich’s 3-0 win over Mainz 05 was as routine as it gets.
After a surprising 2-1 road loss in December in the reverse fixture the Bavarians sorted themselves out and dominated — with ease — a good if out-of-form Mainz side. The Rekordmeister was led from the front to the back by strong individual performances, although some — like Leroy Sané, who managed to hit the post twice from superb scoring positions — were unlucky.
It was also a 500th Bundesliga appearance for Thomas Müller and a debut for Jonah Kusi-Asare. Neither player had a chance to do much in the game’s closing minutes, though.
In the end it was a 3-0 win and one step closer to the title. Let us know how you think the players and coach Vincent Kompany fared.
