Injury-Hit Bayern Munich Suffer First League Loss Under Vincent Kompany
Two goals from Jae-sung Lee lifted Mainz to a shock 2-1 home win over Bayern Munich on Saturday, handing coach Vincent Kompany his first league loss. Lee scored in each half against an uncharacteristically poor Bayern, who are now just four points clear after Bayer Leverkusen's 2-0 win at Augsburg. "We played against a team with a lot of life and spirit and who was prepared to fight for every moment. Today we weren't at our best," Kompany said. "We'll use the defeat today to build fire into the game on Friday (at home to RB Leipzig) because that's the only way we can provide an answer."
