Okazaki latches onto a wonderful through pass but hits the post before a late offside flag is raised.
35'
Tremendous work from Okazaki sees him dazzle his way past three challenges before delivering a one-two with a team mate but Boetang shows his reading of the game with a wonderful tackle to put a stop to the attack.
33'
The visitors are now just happy to get their foot on the ball and play a patient passing game. They've endured a turbulent opening half hour.
31'
Geis looks for Choupo-Moting with a searching direct pass but Neuer is once again quick to rush from his box and clear the danger. The German number one has played as a sweeper at times today.
29'
Mainz make a meal out of clearing their lines and Robben almost makes them pay as he receives a delightful back heeled pass from Muller but a Mainz defender makes the block from the former Chelsea man's shot.
27'
Robben picks out Ribery with a pass out wide but the Frenchman can't pick out a team mate with his low cross.
25'
Despite Bayern's strength in attack Mainz certainly aren't playing ultra defensively and have went for it in the opening 25 minutes.
23'
Robben collects the ball inside Mainz's six yard box and tries to go by Noveski but the veteran defender is too clever for that and ushers the ball out of play.
21'
Mainz are the last team to stop Bayern from scoring in the Bundesliga but you have to go back to April 2012 for that remarkable day.

Bayern hold a high line and a couple of Mainz players are flagged for offside. The hosts have been on top in recent minutes but have yet to make Guardiola's men pay.
19'
Mainz have a free-kick and a chance to deliver the ball into Bayern's danger area.
16'
The Bundesliga top scorer, Mandzukic, finds himself in a dangerous position in space and running at the Mainz back line but opts to shoot instead of passing to a team mate either side of him and the shot is rather weak.

Choupo-Moting picks out Koo but the Mainz man makes his run way too early and is correctly ruled for offside.
12'
It's been a very open match with both sides having good chances to score in the opening minutes, Still goalless however.
10'
The visitors are always dangerous on the counter attack and they almost proved just how good they are at breaking out of defence to attack but Alaba couldn't pick out a team mate.
9'
Bayern find themselves in trouble once again but Neuer saves the day by rushing out of his goal to clear the danger.

Mainz cut open Bayern's defence who are caught flat and napping at the back allowing Geis all the time in the world but with the goal at his mercy he tries to pick out Muller instead of shooting and the chance is wasted!
5'
A lively start to this match is met by a lively atmosphere with the home fans making a lot of noise.

Mainz fail to clear their lines from a cross and the ball falls kindly to Robben from inside the area but the Dutch man catches his boot in the ground and so failing to really connect with the shot allowing Karius to make a relatively easy save. Big let off.
3'
Mandzukic is back on the park and looks ok to continue.

10 seconds played and Mandzukic is down and this looks concerning. He collided with Koo and the Bayern forward's knee seems to have taken the damage.
