BERLIN (Reuters) - Bayer Leverkusen came from a goal down to rescue a 2-2 draw at hosts Mainz 05 in the Bundesliga finale on Saturday and hand departing coach Xabi Alonso another record as they went two league seasons without an away defeat.

Alonso is leaving after two-and-a-half years in charge -including a sensational domestic league and Cup double last season without one defeat - with reports linking him to a move to Real Madrid.

Leverkusen, who finished second behind champions Bayern Munich, found themselves a goal down when European hopefuls Mainz went in front through Paul Nebel in the 35th minute.
