FSV Mainz 05
FC Bayern München
Mainz were utterly dominant in the first half, pressing Bayern into submission and exploiting set-pieces ruthlessly to build a 3-0 lead by the 45th minute — Dominik Kohr heading home from a Kaishu Sano corner, Paul Nebel curling in from close range, and Sheraldo Becker poking home at the death of the first half. With just 30% possession, Mainz were clinical on limited chances, piling up 21 shots and exposing a Bayern backline that looked completely lost. The transformation after the break, however, was staggering: Bayern's double substitution at half-time — bringing on Michael Olise and Harry Kane — immediately injected pace and purpose, and Nicolas Jackson's header in the 53rd minute opened the comeback. Olise, Musiala, and finally Kane completed one of the most dramatic turnarounds in recent Bundesliga memory, with Bayern scoring four goals in a 30-minute blitz despite managing only 11 shots all game, underlining how ruthlessly clinical the visitors were when it mattered most.
