BERLIN: Thiago Alcantara’s second-half equalizer rescued Bayern Munich in Saturday’s 2-2 draw at home to Mainz as the runaway Bundesliga leaders twice came from behind. Spain star Thiago hit the equalizer 17 minutes from time against a team just one point above the relegation places with four games left. It was a poor performance from double-chasing Bayern ahead of Wednesday’s German Cup semi-final at home to Borussia Dortmund. “It wasn’t easy to play after the shock against Real Madrid, but we could have done better,” admitted Ancelotti. But Bayern finally made their 75 percent possession count through Thiago’s equalizer from 17 yards out.
