Rodriguez, on loan until the end of the season from Real Madrid, came off to a standing ovation with 20 minutes to go after arguably his best display in the famous red shirt. Poland striker Robert Lewandowski, the Bundesliga’s top scorer, claimed his 18th league goal this season by tapping in a David Alaba cross on three minutes with many Bayern fans still searching for their seats.
Rodriguez wrapped up his hat-trick with two goals in four breathtaking minutes, hitting the top corner past Mueller’s reach on 51 minutes, then chipping the despairing Mainz goalkeeper moments later. A first-half goal by Austrian defender Martin Hinteregger left Frankfurt unbeaten in their last 13 games, including nine in the Bundesliga.
He set up the winner by spotting Filip Kostic free on the left and Jovic’s pin-point accurate pass found his Serbian team-mate, who crossed for Hinteregger to tap home on 31 minutes.
