On the day Lee Jae-seong laid the stepping stone for the equalizer, ‘assault controversy’ Mane couldn’t even laugh at the expulsion… Mainz beat Bayern Munich 3-1
On the day Lee Jae-seong (Mainz) laid the stepping stone for the equalizer, Sadio Mane (Bayern Munich) of the ‘assault controversy’ activated the expiation gun.
Lee Jae-seong played as a second-line striker in the home game against Bayern in the 29th round of the German Bundesliga in the 2022-2023 season, which ended at the Meba Arena in Mainz, Germany on the 23rd (Korean time), contributing to the team’s 3-1 come-from-behind victory.
He recorded double-digit offensive points (7 goals, 3 assists) this season, and although he did not have any goals or help, he served as the starting point for the equalizer, which served as a springboard for a comeback.
In a situation where Bayern led the game, Mainz responded with a unique, organized forward pressure. Nevertheless, Bayern managed to score the first goal. In the 29th minute of the first half, João Cancelo’s ball from the left was hit by Mane’s head in front of the goal and split the goal.
Mane previously sparked controversy by punching teammate Leroy Sane in the face after a 3-0 away defeat to Manchester City in the European Football Federation’s Champions League away match. The atmosphere in the team became a mess. Mane missed the 28th round match against Hoffenheim on the 15th due to the club’s own discipline. 안전놀이터
But even with his goal, Bayern couldn’t win. In the 20th minute of the second half, Mainz scored an equalizer from Ludovic Azorc. In the situation of Mainz’ right cross, the ball kicked by the Bayern defense was connected by Lee Jae-seong with a right-footed non-stop shot. The ball was cleared by opposing goalkeeper Jan Sommer, and Azorke finished it with a rebound header.
In the 28th minute of the second half, Leandro Baheiru, with the help of Karim Onisiwo, scored a turnaround goal for Mainz. Then, in the 34th minute of the second half, Aaron Caricole’s fantastic left foot wedge burst and took the win.
Mainz finished 6th with 45 points after going undefeated in 10 consecutive matches (6 wins, 4 draws). However, Bayern, which is trying to win the league 11 times in a row, failed to regain its lead as it failed to pursue Borussia Dormund (60 points), standing still with 59 points.
