Bayern Munich defeated Mainz by a final score of 2-0, but will have to wait a little longer to clinch the Bundesliga with Broussia Dortmund's 3-09 win at Hannover 96.
Bayern can still break the record for the quickest title triumph on Tuesday at Hertha Berlin with seven games left in the campaign.
"That would be wonderful," said Jérôme Boateng. "To win the title in my home city would be great. We did the groundwork for that today."
Bayern extended their league record unbeaten run to 51 games, lead the title race on 74 points.
