Bayern Munich traveled to Mainz 05 for a Bundesliga showdown against a club that has been somewhat of a surprise in Germany this season.

The Bavarians were tired, weary, and lacked focus in a terrible first half that found them down 1-0 at the half, before ultimately succumbing to Mainz in a 2-1 defeat that was extremely frustrating.

Let’s talk about how it all went down and more on the Bavarian Podcast Works — Postgame Show. This is what we have on tap:

• A look at the starting XI and what it could mean for Laimer and Leon Goretzka.
• A rundown of the scoring and substitutions.
• Injuries and a lack of rotation made Vincent Kompany’s men very fatigued and sloppy.
• What else went wrong besides fatigue and sloppiness?
• Some final thoughts and takeaways on the match.
