65'
A number of substitutes to inform you about - the first sees Marcus Ingvartsen replacing Burkardt, who was so influential in the first half.

64'
Mainz have been camped inside their own half since the restart, which is in total contrast to how the first-half played out. At this rate it's difficult to envisage the visitors taking anything from the match.
61'
Not far away! Coman has come alive and when he carves inside, away from two defenders, you expect him to bury it. However, his venomous effort dips just over the upright.
59'
Stach is the latest player to go into the referee's book.

Sane tests Zentner with a shot from range which the Mainz goalkeeper parries. Coman pounces on the rebound but it takes a deflection off Bell.
56'
Hernandez takes one for the team by hauling down Onisiwo, preventing a dangerous Mainz attack.

That was Coman's fourth league goal this season. His first touch was sensational before sticking it away with aplomb.
53'
GOAL! Bayern Munich 1-1 Mainz (Kingsley Coman): Coman makes no mistake this time! For the first time this afternoon, Mainz switch off defensively as the Frenchman races in behind to latch onto Tolisso's raking pass and squeezes it between the legs of the goalkeeper.

Bayern should be level! Coman is left unmarked but again Zentner barely has to move to make the save!
48'
Save! Tolisso's free-kick delivery is met by the head of Lewandowski. That usually ends with the net rippling but on this occasion it's straight at Zentner.
47'
Mainz have lost four of their six away games this season and will have to be 100 per cent focused if they're going to emerge victorious today.
2nd Half
46'
Kick-off! We're back underway in the second half. Can Mainz hold on for an eye-catching victory or will Bayern power back? There are no changes in personnel.
-
A consolation for Bayern is that Dortmund are also currently trailing...
HT
Half-time: A shock on the cards? Bayern Munich are trailing 1-0 to Mainz at the break courtesy of Karim Onisiwo's 21st-minute goal - and it's no less than the visitors deserve.
45'+3
We're into three minutes of added-time but Bayern are going to be allowed to take the corner despite Mainz's fury.
45'+1
Mainz go close again! Stach tries an awkward first-time volley and just for a moment it looks like it's going to sneak in at the far post. Fortunately for Bayern it drifts agonisingly over Neuer's bar.
45'
Two minutes will be added on at the end of the first half.
44'
Close! A mistake by Mainz's goalkeeper Zentner - but the visitors get away with it! He comes off his line in an attempt to punch clear a cross but it drops to Coman who has the goal at his mercy... but Hack bails his team mate out with a great block!
43'
Well wide! A cross is lifted into the Mainz penalty area from the right flank. Lewandowski is in a great position to attack it but Davies rather steals in and heads horribly wide. That just about sums up Bayern's first-half performance.
40'
Davies concedes possession, and Bayern are in a right mess at the moment. Barreiro shoots from 20 yards but can't trouble Neuer.
39'
Niakhate wins the flick-on from the resulting free-kick, it takes a deflection off Hernandez and Mainz have a corner, which comes to nothing.
