In the 37th minute, A great long ball was played to Roy
Makaay who was onside and buried the ball home to make the
score 2-1.
Just before half time, the referee counted a penalty kick
for Bayern Munich and Makaay scored from the spot to make
the score 2-2.
In the 2nd half, the score remained unchanged as both sides
failed to score any more goals. However, Claudio Pizzaro
had a real chance to clinch the win for the Bavarians through
a low shot from inside the box, but the ball was just wide.
On the other hand, Zidan shined in more than one situation
in this half. The first time came early on when he had the
ball in the right side of the box, he trapped the ball well
at his feet and laid the ball superbly to the oncoming Chariots
Babatz who shot over the bar.
Zidan also hit the post in the 2nd half when he got the
ball in the right side of the box and managed to trick his
marker and to shoot from narrow angle at goal, the shot
was denied by the post but it was a clear evidence for Zidan's
massive talent.
In the last minutes of the game, Zidan wasted a real chance
to win the game for Mainz. The Egyptian dribbled past his
opponent in the left wing and laid the ball on the edge
of the area to the substitute Ruman who laid it back to
the onside Zizou on the edge of the six yards box, the Egyptian
tried to bury the ball into the far corner but he missed
the target and the chance went begging.
Reactions on Zidan's goal and the game will be available
