Senegalese forward Nicolas Jackson scored his 10th goal of the season as Bayern Munich produced a remarkable comeback to defeat Mainz 4-3 after trailing by three goals in the Bundesliga.
Already crowned champions the previous weekend, Bayern appeared to be heading for a heavy defeat after falling 3-0 behind.
However, the Bavarian side responded with determination, overturning the deficit in a dramatic contest to secure victory.
Jackson played a key role in the turnaround, finding the net as Bayern began their recovery.
His contribution helped shift momentum in favour of the visitors, who gradually took control of the match after a difficult start.
The game also marked a notable milestone for Bara Sapoko Ndiaye, who made his first professional start. His inclusion highlighted Bayern’s willingness to integrate new talent even in high-pressure situations.
Despite their early struggles, Bayern showed resilience and attacking quality to mount their comeback.
Goal by goal, they reduced the deficit before eventually completing the turnaround, sealing a 4-3 win in a match that saw seven goals in total.
The victory serves as a strong statement from Vincent Kompany’s side, demonstrating both depth and character even after securing the league title.
Their ability to respond under pressure reflects the level of confidence within the squad.
The result also provides positive momentum ahead of Bayern’s next major challenge. The German champions are set to face Paris Saint-Germain in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League semi-final on Tuesday, and this comeback win offers an encouraging boost.
Jackson’s continued impact in front of goal underlines his growing importance within the team. Reaching double figures for the season, the Senegalese forward remains a key attacking option as Bayern look to carry their domestic form into European competition.
