A frantic finale at the Allianz Arena

Bayern Munich snatched a 3-3 draw against bottom club Heidenheim on Saturday, with Michael Olise scoring in the 100th minute — the last kick of the game — to deny the visitors a vital victory in their fight for Bundesliga survival. The result, played out at the Allianz Arena, leaves Heidenheim still rooted to the foot of the table, their hopes of reaching the relegation playoff spot hanging by a thread with only two matchdays remaining. For Bayern, already crowned champions, the performance exposed recurring defensive vulnerabilities. Coach Vincent Kompany had rotated heavily after Tuesday's 5-4 Champions League semi-final first-leg loss to Paris St Germain, but his side again conceded three goals, taking their tally to 11 conceded in their last three matches across all competitions.

Heidenheim's early double stuns the champions

Heidenheim, playing their 100th Bundesliga match, took the lead midway through the first half. Marnon Busch lofted a ball back into the penalty area following a corner, and Budu Zivzivadze, left unmarked, flicked the ball past goalkeeper Jonas Urbig from close range. Nine minutes later, Busch played a perfectly weighted through ball for Eren Dinkçi, who rounded Urbig and tapped in to double the advantage. Bayern dominated possession but struggled to break down a well-organised Heidenheim defence. The breakthrough came in the 43rd minute when Jamal Musiala was fouled by Niklas Dorsch in a dangerous position. Leon Goretzka stepped up and curled a superb direct free-kick over the wall and into the top corner from around 25 metres, reducing the deficit just before half-time. Musiala went close to an equaliser moments later, but his shot flew just wide.

Kompany's half-time reshuffle sparks a fightback

Vincent Kompany responded to the half-time deficit by making four substitutions, bringing on Harry Kane, Michael Olise, Luis Díaz and Joshua Kimmich. Bayern pressed with greater intensity, and Ramaj denied Jackson with a fine save in the 55th minute, before Busch cleared off the line to prevent Minjae Kim from scoring. Goretzka then equalised shortly before the hour mark, bundling the ball over the line from close range after Olise's corner had found him at the back post. Kimmich struck the right post from distance, and Urbig produced a crucial save to deny Dinkçi from close range. Heidenheim, however, restored their lead with a little under 15 minutes left when Zivzivadze drove forward on the left flank, beat Olise and curled a fine finish into the top corner to make it 3-2. Olise struck the crossbar from a corner in the 83rd minute as Bayern pushed desperately for an equaliser.

A dramatic conclusion in stoppage time

A lengthy stoppage in injury time followed an injury to Heidenheim's Jonas Föhrenbach, who returned to the pitch with a heavily bandaged nose, underlining how desperate the visitors were to hold on to the points. In the 100th minute, Olise's shot from distance struck the post, bounced back off the back of goalkeeper Diant Ramaj and trickled over the line to earn Bayern a share of the spoils. The goal had a 3% probability of being scored. The result was a blow to Heidenheim's survival hopes, as they remain bottom with two games left. Bayern, meanwhile, have conceded 11 goals in their last three matches — against Paris St Germain, Mainz 05 and Heidenheim — raising concerns ahead of the Champions League return leg against PSG.

Goretzka's farewell season continues to shine

Leon Goretzka, who will leave Bayern at the end of the season, was the standout performer, earning the Man of the Match award with 52% of the vote. The midfielder scored twice — first with a superb direct free-kick and then with a close-range finish — and led all players with six shots during the match. His efforts proved crucial in preventing what would have been a disappointing home defeat for the champions. Kompany praised his team's resilience: "What happened in the first half worked well for Heidenheim but not for us. In the second half what remains is how the team just keeps going and going. Yes we could have done it better. I can understand that it cannot always be perfect but the way the lads fight back should not be taken for granted."

Defensive concerns ahead of PSG return leg

Bayern's defensive record has become a growing concern. After conceding five goals to PSG in the first leg, three to Mainz (though they came from 3-0 down to win 4-3), and three more to Heidenheim, Kompany acknowledged the issue: "As a former defender I know the feeling that comes with conceding many goals in a week. Paris, Mainz and Heidenheim, we conceded too many goals...but we always show a reaction." The Bavarians are already assured of the Bundesliga title with 83 points, 16 ahead of second-placed Borussia Dortmund, who play on Sunday. But the focus now shifts entirely to Tuesday's Champions League semi-final second leg, where they must overturn a 5-4 deficit against PSG. "Now it's game over, everyone is fit and that is what we wanted for the next game," Kompany said.

Heidenheim's survival hopes hang by a thread

For Heidenheim, the draw felt like a defeat. They came within seconds of a famous victory that would have given them a realistic chance of reaching the relegation playoff spot. Instead, they remain bottom, with only two matches left to salvage their Bundesliga status. Zivzivadze's double took his scoring run to four successive league matches, a club record, but it was not enough. The match statistics underline Heidenheim's competitiveness: they had a higher xG (2.54) than Bayern (1.85), and their fastest player, Josip Stanišić, reached 35.16 km/h. But the cruelest statistic was the 3% probability of Olise's equaliser — a goal that may ultimately define their season.

The bottom line

• Bayern Munich's 3-3 draw with Heidenheim was secured by Michael Olise's 100th-minute equaliser, a shot that went in off goalkeeper Diant Ramaj.
• Leon Goretzka scored twice, including a free-kick, and was named Man of the Match, but will leave Bayern at season's end.
