1. FSV Mainz 05 against FC Bayern Munich: The analysis

In the first half, Mainz literally rolled over the champions. The hosts put Bayern under pressure from the start with early pressing, and in the second minute Burkard missed the quick lead with his bang on the lower edge of the crossbar. Coach Bo Svensson’s team used vertical passes to find their way directly to the top, but they also managed to get through down the right wing again and again.

Left-back Alphonso Davies only won 25 percent of his tackles. Burkardt (11th) scored after many missed chances to take the lead, Niakhate increased it to 2-0 after a corner. Mainz is clearly the better team so far, the statistics at this point: 4:0 corners after 17 minutes. 10:1 shots on goal after 23 minutes.

Bayern made too many mistakes in the build-up and only had very few chances. Choupo-Moting (30′) failed to head the outside of the post before Lewandowski (33′) scored after the first successful attack.

Nagelsmann reacted at the break, bringing in Sane and Musiala for Goretzka and Sabitzer. But that didn’t really pay off. Although Bayern took control of the game, they were never able to calm down the wild game. The record champions caused a lot of unnecessary ball losses, which Mainz gratefully accepted and countered to make it 3-1 and several times almost 4-1.

The self-proclaimed carnival club went full throttle for over 90 minutes and ultimately deservedly rewarded themselves for a great performance.

Bayern notes: tons of fives! Master Bayern disastrous

1/17

FC Bayern lost 3-1 at FSV Mainz 05 a week after winning the championship and the bench-pressing eleven put on a sometimes disastrous performance. Only one is happy. The grades and ratings of the FCB players.

2/17

SVEN ULREICH: When he plays, you know: Neuer is injured or Bayern are champions. The latter is the case. Got a lot to do: huge feat in the 17th minute, then just a minute later with the error before the 0:1. Otherwise blameless. grade 4

3/17

BENJAMIN PAVARD: I was lucky that there was no penalty after four minutes when he was late against Burkardt – and he was often late against him. Overall, a very erratic performance with many positioning errors. Grade 4.5.

4/17

NIKLAS SÜLE: Starting eleven comeback since March 2022 – initially only noticeable positively with a long sugar ball for Gnabry. Then involved in two goals conceded: too far away at 0:1, completely disoriented at 1:3. grade 5

5/17

LUCAS HERNANDEZ: Initially one of the better ones in the Bayern four-back, then adjusted to the overall level of his colleagues over time. Here and there he turned on the aggro mode. Down after almost 70 minutes. Grade 4.5.

6/17

ALPHONSO DAVIES: He’s definitely not the old man yet. Strived offensively, but without luck. Defensive with catastrophic values, logically Mainz also with most offensive actions via his side. Widmer tied knots in his legs. grade 5

7/17

JOSHUA KIMMICH: Got in trouble in the first half because he didn’t play a ball wide even though a player from Mainz was down. As so often, had the most ball actions at Bayern, but his game wasn’t really profitable. Grade 4.5.

8/17

LEON GORETZKA: The game went completely past the midfielder. The fewest ball actions before the break, caused the free kick before the 0:2. More with the referee than near the ball. The break was over. grade 5

9/17

SERGE GNABRY: Should have made more of Süle’s great pass. That applied to his whole game. Many ball losses, not even present in the danger area. No application for the new contract. grade 5

10/17

MARCEL SABITZER: Got a chance to start and was allowed to make the 10 in Müller’s absence, but had little access to the game. After all, made the game fast at 1:2. His only offensive action – down at the break. Grade 4.5.

11/17

ERIC MAXIM CHOUPO-MOTING: As announced in the starting eleven, it wasn’t even visible at first, then with a great assist for Lewandowski. But then again not to see, albeit with many walking paths. grade 4

12/17

ROBERT LEWANDOWSKI: Received flowers for the league title as captain before kick-off. Then with a great goal to 1:2. There’s a lot of talk about his contract, but Lewandowski doesn’t show it. A lot on the go. Note 3.

13/17

JAMAL MUSIALA: “A player who is great to get off the bench,” said Julian Nagelsmann. Musiala was only moderately happy about it. Came in for Sabitzer at the break, but had little to report apart from a few individual actions. grade 4

14/17

LEROY SANE: Came in for Goretzka at the break to bring some more creativity into the game. Then there wasn’t that much to see. Somehow a typical Sane game 2022. Grade 5.

15/17

TANGUY NIANZOU (from 67th): After the educational measure in Bielefeld, he did not get any minutes against Dortmund, at least 25 minutes in Mainz. The hosts’ urge phase was already over. No mistakes. grade 4

16/17

GABRIEL VIDOVIC (from 67th): The only happy Bayern player this football afternoon. After his one-minute debut in Bielefeld, this time he played around 25 minutes in Mainz. He can do something, you can see that. His time is yet to come. grade 4

17/17

JOSIP STANISIC (from 79th): A few minutes for the bet bonus. Ran a ball well once. No rating.

Mainz 05: Zentner – Bell, Hack, Niakhate – Widmer, Stach (89th Ingvartsen), Aaron – Barreiro, Kohr – Burkardt (81st Boetius), Onisiwo (89th Brosinski).

Bayern: Ulreich – Pavard, Süle (79th Stanisic), Hernandez (67th Nianzou) – Kimmich – Gnabry, Sabitzer (46th Musiala), Goretzka (46th Sane), Davies – Choupo-Moting (67th Vidovic), Lewandowski .

The data of the game 1. FSV Mainz 05 vs. FC Bayern Munich

Gates: 1-0 Burkardt (18′), 2-0 Niakhate (27′), 2-1 Lewandowski (33′), 3-1 (57′ Barreiro).

The star of the game: Jonathan Burkardt (Mainz)

Bayern’s defense never got the U21 national player under control. Fired six shots on goal from Sven Ulreich. Scored the important 1-0 lead and was also a constant source of trouble with his pace and running paths.

The flop of the game: Niklas Süle (Bayern)

Starting eleven comeback since March 2022 – initially only positive with a long ball for Gnabry. candy ball! Then with the goals conceded 1 and 3 not uninvolved. Too far away at 0:1, disoriented at 1:3. Not his day.

The referee: Sascha Stegemann

Bad performance by the referee. Should have decided on a penalty after Pavard (4th) fouled Burkard. He then overlooked a foul by Niakhate (10′) on Goretzka on the edge of the Mainz penalty area.
