Mohamed Zidan's Mainz returned to official
matches with a match against the Bundesliga giants Bayern
Munich in the German cup (DFB Pokal) quarter final round.
Of course, a game against Bayern Munich
at their home stadium and in front of 53000 enthusiastic
fans was expected to be very tough for a club like Mainz.
However, Zidan and his teammates made things tough for
Bayern Munich and almost kicked the Bavarian side out
of cup.
It was Zidan who opened the scoring as
he scored from a penalty kick after a foul in the 21st
min. Zidan placed the ball low into the bottom corner
and Oliver Kahn couldn't get in there in time.
After the early goal, Mainz fought hard
and managed to defend their lead till the 81st minute
of the game. However, Bayern Munich's forward Claudio
Pizzaro managed to score the equalizer just nine minutes
before the final whistle. The original time ended in
a 1-1 draw and the match went to extra time.

Four minutes after the kick off of the first extra time,
Guerrero added the 2nd goal for Bayern Munich and it seemed
that the Bavarians will end the game to their favor.
In the 104th minute, Mainz coach Jurgen Klopp
decided to replace Zidan who suffered a serious injury after
he collided with Bayern Munich's defender Lucio, and Weiland
came on to replace the Egyptian who was taken to hospital
to receive treatment.
Just a couple of minutes after the exit of
Zidan, Mainz forward Petr Ruman revived hopes once again
for Mainz as he scored the equalizer and the score became
2-2.
However, Bayern Munich star Pizzaro managed
to score the dramatic winner in the 115th minute to grant
Bayern Munich the ticket to the German Cup semi-finals and
to knock Mainz out of the competition.
