FC Bayern: First an embarrassing swallow, then a goal!

Jae-Sung Lee gives Mainz the lead against Bayern. A few minutes beforehand he is already the center of attention – in a negative way.

Vortex in the Bayern penalty area. In the 16th minute of Munich's Bundesliga game against 1. FSV Mainz 05, Mainz attacker Jae-Sung Lee suddenly went down. Penalty? Not at all.

Rather, the South Korean made an embarrassing swallow. He didn't touch his opponent Raphael Guerreiro at all.

Lee seemed to have noticed his misconduct straight away, because the Mainz attacker got right back up and continued playing.

Referee Frank Willenborg remained cool about the situation and simply let the game continue. However, he decided not to give Lee a yellow card. Much to the annoyance of Bayern, who complained in the person of Eric Dier.

It was Lee, of all people, who gave Mainz the lead in the 41st minute. The attacker used a cross from Bayern loanee Armindo Sieb, who had come on in place of the injured Jonathan Burkhardt. The Bayern defense looked anything but good.

And the South Korean didn't have enough. In the 60th minute he made it 2-0, again the assist came from Sieb.
