A frantic finish masks a disjointed performance

Bayern Munich escaped with a 3-3 draw against last-placed Heidenheim on Saturday, scoring with the final kick of the match in the 100th minute. The result, secured by Michael Olise's deflected shot off the post and goalkeeper Diant Ramaj's back, papers over a performance that coach Vincent Kompany himself acknowledged was far from convincing. "It was the mentality, the belief," Kompany said. "Of course, we can do many things better, but we must not forget that the lads gave everything in the end to avoid losing the game. We have to take that with us into the next match." The draw keeps Bayern's Bundesliga title already secured, but raises questions about their form ahead of Tuesday's Champions League semifinal second leg against Paris Saint-Germain.

Heidenheim's early dominance and two-goal lead

Heidenheim, fighting for survival, stunned the Allianz Arena by taking a 2-0 lead within the first 32 minutes. Budu Zivzivadze opened the scoring in the 23rd minute, flicking a lofted ball from Marnon Busch past Jonas Urbig after a corner. Nine minutes later, Eren Dinkci doubled the advantage, rounding Urbig after a perfectly weighted through ball from Busch. Bayern dominated possession but struggled to break down Heidenheim's well-organised defence. The visitors, needing points to keep their relegation hopes alive, pressed with intensity and created several chances on the counter. Jonas Urbig made a crucial save from Dinkci in the 68th minute, and Jackson's shot went wide in the 87th.

Goretzka's double and Kompany's tactical gamble

Leon Goretzka pulled one back just before halftime, curling a superb direct free kick over the wall from 25 metres after Jamal Musiala was fouled by Niklas Dorsch. The goal gave Bayern momentum, and Kompany responded at the break by sending on Harry Kane, Michael Olise, Luis Díaz and Joshua Kimmich — four of the seven players he had rested. Goretzka equalised in the 57th minute, bundling the ball over the line from close range after Olise's corner found him at the back post. The midfielder finished with two goals, six shots, and was named Man of the Match with 52 per cent of the vote. However, Heidenheim restored their lead in the 76th minute when Zivzivadze drove forward, beat Olise, and curled a fine finish into the top corner.

Stoppage-time drama and a cruel own goal

Bayern pushed desperately for an equaliser in the final minutes. Olise struck the crossbar from a corner in the 83rd minute, and Joshua Kimmich hit the post from distance. A lengthy stoppage followed an injury to Heidenheim's Jonas Föhrenbach, who returned with a heavily bandaged nose as the visitors tried to hold on. In the 100th minute, Olise's shot from the edge of the box struck the post, bounced off the back of goalkeeper Ramaj, and trickled over the line. The goal was recorded as an own goal by Ramaj, with a 3 per cent probability.ch was 1.85 for Bayern and 2.54 for Heidenheim, reflecting the visitors' superior chances.

Relegation fears deepen for Heidenheim

The draw leaves Heidenheim on the verge of relegation, still rooted to the bottom of the Bundesliga table. Coach Frank Schmidt made just one change to his lineup, bringing in Arijon Ibrahimović for Adrian Beck. The match was Heidenheim's 100th in the Bundesliga, a milestone that may soon be followed by demotion. Patrick Mainka has played every minute of those 100 games, a testament to his durability, but the team's defensive resilience was not enough to secure a vital win. Zivzivadze's two goals and Dinkci's strike gave them hope, but the late equaliser was a cruel blow. Heidenheim now need results elsewhere to go their way to avoid the drop.

Bayern's focus shifts to PSG and squad depth concerns

Bayern's performance highlighted a significant drop in quality when key players are rested. Kompany's seven changes from the PSG first leg exposed a lack of depth, with Bara Sapoko Ndiaye failing to impress on his start. The club will need to address this in the summer transfer window. Tuesday's Champions League semifinal second leg against PSG looms large, with Bayern trailing 5-4 from the first leg. The draw with Heidenheim means the team has now trailed at halftime in three consecutive games, a worrying trend. However, the late fightback and the return of rested stars like Kane and Kimmich offer some optimism. Goretzka, who may be playing his final games for the club, provided a reminder of his quality.

A point gained, but questions remain

Bayern avoided what would have been a humiliating home defeat, but the performance exposed vulnerabilities that PSG will look to exploit. The champions' ability to snatch a draw from the jaws of defeat shows character, but their recurring first-half slumps and defensive lapses are cause for concern. For Heidenheim, the point feels like a loss. They came within seconds of a famous victory that could have revived their survival hopes. Instead, they face an uphill battle with only a few games remaining. The Bundesliga's bottom side showed they can compete, but football can be cruel — as Ramaj's unfortunate own goal demonstrated.

The bottom line

• Bayern Munich drew 3-3 with Heidenheim after Michael Olise's stoppage-time equalizer, a result that masks a poor performance ahead of the PSG Champions League semifinal.

• Heidenheim led twice through Budu Zivzivadze (2 goals) and Eren Dinkci, but conceded a late equalizer that leaves them on the brink of relegation.
