Mainz 05 v Bayern München Match Report, 2/1/20

Bayern Munich are flying ahead of their meeting with RB Leipzig next week, with Thiago Alcantara impressing in a key win over Mainz.

A fine goal from Thiago Alcantara was the highlight as Bayern Munich cruised to a 3-1 victory away to Mainz, their sixth straight Bundesliga triumph.

Bayern go two points clear at the top ahead of RB Leipzig, who have a chance to return to the summit when they play Borussia Monchengladbach later on Saturday.

The visitors were three up inside 26 minutes at Opel Arena, with Robert Lewandowski's 22nd top-flight goal of the campaign setting them on their way.
