Bundesliga: Bayern eases past Mainz 3-1 to move third

The Hindu  

German champions Bayern Munich struck twice in five minutes through Kingsley Coman and Harry Kane to cruise past Mainz 05 3-1 on Saturday and move into third place in the Bundesliga, two points behind leaders Bayer Leverkusen. READ | Real Madrid held to draw by battling Sevilla Mainz almost got an equaliser two minutes later but Lee Jae-sung’s header was tipped onto the post by keeper Sven Ulreich and Bayern doubled their lead when England captain Kane bagged his ninth goal of the season with a close-range header. Just two minutes later, however, Bayern made it 3-1 thanks to Leon Goretzka’s low drive from the edge of the box. The Bavarians, who travel to Galatasaray in the Champions League on Tuesday, are on 20 points, one behind second-placed VfB Stuttgart, and two adrift of Bayer Leverkusen, 2-1 winners at VfL Wolfsburg.
