Following an early scare, when Mainz’s center-forward-Jonathan Burkardt fired over bar from inside the box, Bayern then went on to dominate the opposition and should have won by a wider margin. Let’s now take a look at some interesting takeaways from Saturday’s 3-0 victory.

Bayern Munich faced Mainz 05 at home with all the hopes of bagging the Meisterschale Dahoam. But, despite winning 3-0, the Bavarians have not won the Bundesliga yet, for Bayer Leverkusen won 2-0 against FC Augsburg. History tends to repeat itself. In this case, history says that Bayern has rarely ever bagged the ‘Schale from a home game.

Bayern Munich moved one victory away from winning back the Bundesliga title as they beat Mainz at home. Leroy Sane slotted into the bottom corner from close range to put Vincent Kompany's side in front. Michael Olise jinked inside and fired a low finish past Robin Zenter in the Mainz goal as Bayern increased their lead before the break.
