Phillipp Mwene and Michael Olise - The Canadian PressMAINZ, Germany — Bayern Munich lost a Bundesliga game for the first time in coach Vincent Kompany's tenure, paying the price for defensive mistakes and the absence of Harry Kane in losing at Mainz 2-1 on Saturday.
With Kane out injured, Bayern struggled to generate scoring chances as Lee Jae-sung gave Mainz a two-goal lead. Leroy Sane scored on the rebound in the 87th minute to give Bayern hope of a comeback, but Kompany's team could not find a second goal.While Bayern had painful losses in the Champions League to Aston Villa and Barcelona and was knocked out of the German Cup by Leverkusen last week, it seemed until now well on course to reclaim the Bundesliga title lost to Leverkusen last season.
The second goal again saw Sieb pass for Lee, who left Joshua Kimmich stranded with a turn and scored low past stand-in goalkeeper Daniel Peretz. Sieb was on the field only because starting forward Jonathan Burkardt went off injured in the 15th. The game was stopped when Bochum goalkeeper Patrick Drewes was hit by an object — seemingly a cigarette lighter — from the stands. Players were off the field for nearly half an hour while he was treated and they discussed whether to play out the time remaining, about three minutes.Leverkusen wins
