Bayern Munich (2-0) Mainz 05, Bundesliga: Match Awards and Player Ratings

Tip Of The Cap: Dante. The 31-year-old center back played a pretty typical "Dante"ish style of game. Didn't make a lot of splash plays, but didn't make many mistakes, led his team in touches, passes and passing accuracy. He also showed a very deft touch on his long passes as well of which he was 9 for 12 on. He also came within mere inches of getting a header on goal in the second half.

Golf Clap: Robert Lewandowski. Lewa came into this match needing a hat trick to catch Frankfurt's Alexander Meier for the Bundesliga scoring lead and he played like he was determined to get those three goals. He constantly harassed the center of the Mainz defense and had three quality shots before being subbed off to give Claudio Pizarro his swan song. His penalty kick was powerful, and completely fooled Mainz keeper Loris Karius. His assist on the Bastian Schweinsteiger goal was also showed a nifty bit of skill as well. He may have gotten off to a not so great start to the season, but Lewa has finished this season strong.

Standing Ovation: Mario Götze. Super Mario may well be developing a better rapport with Juan Bernat on the left side of the pitch if this game is any indication. Mario was a very strong attacking force in this game, breaking down defenders in one on one situations almost effortlessly. He set up some very close scoring chances for his teammates, and were Bayern at full strength, Götze may very well had at least three assists. It has been an up and down season for Mario. He has earned a lot of criticism, some of it justified, some of it not. However, if this game is a foreshadowing of what's to come for next season, Bayern fans should be very excited at the prospect of a fully healthy and fit #19.

Meister Of The Match: Bastian Schweinsteiger. The subject of much speculation regarding his transfer status, Der Fussballgott grabbed this match by the horns so to speak and didn't let go. With nothing tangible to play for, the pride of winning the final game of the season in front of the Allianz faithful seemed to be sufficient motivation for Basti. The center midfielder played a very direct game in whish he had a surprising five shots on goal, one of them finding the back of the net. He played very responsibly on both ends of the pitch and certainly made his 500th Bundesliga game one to remember.
