But that didn't stop everyone from cheering for Wang Shuo's goal at this very moment.
Nor did it stop Wang Shuo from feeling happy about winning over the Mainz fans.
...
A strange thing was happening. Despite losing the match, Mainz's morale seemed to have soared.
This was because they had spent the final minutes of the game completely dominating Bayern.
In contrast, the Bayern players, who had won 3–1, looked utterly dejected.
The Mainz players returned to the locker room, still in the middle of a heated discussion.
The topics of conversation were the live league standings and the top scorer rankings.
After losing to Bayern, Mainz had certainly relinquished their top spot in the league, just as everyone had expected.
Hamburg mounted a 3–2 comeback victory over Bayer Leverkusen to claim the top of the table.
Hoffenheim drew 0–0 at home against Stuttgart.
Borussia Mönchengladbach suffered a crushing 1–5 defeat away to Hannover 96.
