Veteran becomes club’s oldest player but suffers injury Keeper also in spotlight after another gaffe Bayern Munich secured a 2-1 victory over Mainz in the Bundesliga on Saturday but the form of goalkeeper Manuel Neuer will again be in the spotlight after another error almost produced an equaliser for the home side in the first half.
