## Key points

- Bayern beat Mainz 2-1 despite Neuer’s error and injury.
- Neuer became Bayern’s oldest player at 40 years, 225 days.
- Bayern and Dortmund have 21 points after nine matches.

## Summary

Bayern Munich beat Mainz 2-1, but Manuel Neuer’s record-breaking appearance was overshadowed by a costly-looking error and another foot injury. The 40-year-old became Bayern’s oldest player, yet was substituted before half-time after struggling to deal with a cross that led to a Mainz goal later ruled out for offside.

The incident added to concerns about Neuer’s recent form: data cited in the article show five errors leading to goals in his past 17 Bundesliga matches, compared with 10 in his previous 248 appearances. Harry Kane assisted goals by Joshua Kimmich and 18-year-old Lennart Karl as Bayern extended their unbeaten away league run to 31 matches. Bayern and Borussia Dortmund each have 21 points from nine games, with Bayern ahead on goal difference; Leipzig are three points behind.
