Neuer sets age record, makes error and gets injured
Summarised by MatchPal
Neuer set a Bundesliga record as Bayern's oldest player at 40 years 225 days, but made a costly error and suffered an injury in the first half.
Manuel Neuer marked a milestone on Saturday, becoming the oldest player ever to appear for Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga at 40 years and 225 days, surpassing Bernd Dreher's record set in 2006.
The match began well for the veteran goalkeeper as Joshua Kimmich put Bayern ahead early. However, just before half-time, Neuer made a significant error on a Mainz free kick from the left flank, completely misjudging the ball and allowing Jae-Sung Lee to equalize. In the same incident, Neuer suffered a foot injury that forced him to leave the field.
After lengthy treatment, Neuer was unable to continue and was replaced by Jonas Urbig. The substitution occurred at 1-1, with the VAR taking considerable time to rule out a Mainz goal for offside during the delay caused by Neuer's injury.
