Bayern Munich moved nine points clear at the top of the Bundesliga with a late draw against bottom side Mainz. Youngster Lennart Karl opened the scoring in the 29th minute, slotting home from close range. Kacper Potulski headed in from William Boving's free-kick just before the break to grab an unlikely equaliser for the visitors.

FC Bayern, impeccable on the sporting front, will once again have to deal with the absence of their captain. Manuel Neuer was injured in the Bundesliga home match against Mainz, as confirmed by the club.
