Reaction to Bundesliga match against Mainz

"I think we completely dominated the first 44 minutes of the game. We had lots of chances to score and allowed them practically none. And then we conceded right on half-time, which changed the momentum. We came out for the second half and didn't dominate as much. We couldn't quite find that final pass or shot. They played well, meaning we had to fight. When you play against teams like this, they fight for every point. They can defend well, can defend the ball, can rescue situations, throw themselves into everything - and that's what happened. At the end of the day, we'll take the point and keep going."

"Obviously we're pleased. Getting a point in Munich isn't a given. When you look back on the game, conceding a penalty right at the end, that obviously annoys you a bit. But the delight outweighs all that. We didn't allow Bayern too much, even though they had their chances. We were able to rely on our goalkeeper at those times, keeping us in the game with big saves. We defended our goal with everything we had."

"You're a bit annoyed because we led 2-1. But if someone had told us we'd take a point at the Allianz Arena, then we would've taken that. It was a good team performance. We gave all we had and kept jabbing away at them."

Bayern controlled the opening 44 minutes with numerous chances while conceding almost none, but a goal right before half-time shifted momentum. The second half saw Bayern less dominant and unable to complete the decisive pass or finish. Mainz defended resolutely, with the goalkeeper making key saves and the team fighting for every ball. Mainz took a 2-1 lead late in the match, but a penalty conceded at the end levelled the score. The match finished as a draw, giving both teams a point, with Mainz pleased to secure a result at the Allianz Arena.
