A frantic finale at the Allianz Arena

Bayern Munich escaped with a 3-3 draw against last-placed Heidenheim on Saturday, thanks to a bizarre own goal in the 10th minute of stoppage time. Michael Olise's shot struck the post, then bounced off the back of Heidenheim goalkeeper Diant Ramaj and trickled over the line. The result was a severe blow to Heidenheim's hopes of Bundesliga survival, while Bayern turned their focus to Wednesday's Champions League semifinal second leg against Paris Saint-Germain. The match was Heidenheim's 100th in the Bundesliga, and they came within seconds of a famous victory. Instead, they remain rooted to the bottom of the table, now on the verge of relegation.

Kompany's rotation gamble backfires early

Bayern coach Vincent Kompany made seven changes to the side that lost 5-4 to PSG in the first leg of their Champions League semifinal on Tuesday. Manuel Neuer, Dayot Upamecano, Alphonso Davies, Joshua Kimmich, Michael Olise, Luis Díaz and Harry Kane all started on the substitutes' bench. The decision was intended to rest key players ahead of the PSG return leg, but it left Bayern disjointed and vulnerable. Heidenheim, needing points to keep their survival hopes alive, took full advantage. In the 23rd minute, Marnon Busch played a lofted ball back into the penalty area following a corner, and Budu Zivzivadze, left unmarked, flicked the ball past Bayern goalkeeper Jonas Urbig from close range. Nine minutes later, Busch delivered a perfectly weighted through ball for Eren Dinkçi, who rounded Urbig and tapped in to double the visitors' lead.

Goretzka's double drags Bayern level

Bayern struggled to break down Heidenheim's well-organised defence, but a foul on Jamal Musiala by Niklas Dorsch in the 43rd minute gave them a lifeline. Leon Goretzka stepped up and curled a superb direct free-kick over the wall and into the top corner from around 25 metres to reduce the deficit. Musiala almost equalised moments later, but his shot flew just wide as the half ended with Heidenheim still ahead. Kompany responded at halftime by sending on Kane, Olise, Díaz and Kimmich. Bayern pressed with greater intensity, and Ramaj denied substitute Arijon Ibrahimović with a fine save in the 55th minute, before Busch cleared off the line to prevent Minjae Kim from scoring. Goretzka then equalised in the 57th minute, bundling the ball over the line from close range after Olise's corner found him at the back post.

Zivzivadze strikes again, but Olise has the final word

Heidenheim refused to wilt. With a little under 15 minutes left, 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 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. In the 100th minute, Olise's shot from the edge of the box hit the post, then bounced off Ramaj's back and trickled over the line. The goal had a 3 percent probability of being scored.t game in which Bayern trailed at halftime, following the 5-4 loss to PSG and a 4-3 win at Mainz where they faced a three-goal deficit.

Goretzka named man of the match as Bayern's flaws persist

Leon Goretzka was the standout performer, earning the Man of the Match award with 52 percent of the vote. He scored twice, led all players with six shots, and his two goals proved crucial in preventing what would have been a disappointing home defeat. The xG data reflected Bayern's struggles: they created 1.85 expected goals to Heidenheim's 2.54. The visitors also had the fastest player on the pitch, Josip Stanišić (35.16 km/h), and Olise was the most pressed player, under pressure 27 times. Despite the result, Bayern's performance was widely criticised as poor and unfocused. Kompany's substitutions were described as unusual, and the team's defensive lapses were evident in both of Heidenheim's first-half goals. A miscommunication between Jonathan Tah and Urbig led to Dinkçi's goal, while Kim Min-jae was caught ball-watching for Zivzivadze's opener.

Heidenheim left to rue missed opportunity

For Heidenheim, the draw was a devastating missed opportunity. They had come within seconds of a victory that would have given them a fighting chance of avoiding relegation. Instead, they remain bottom of the table, now on the verge of dropping back to the 2. Bundesliga. Coach Frank Schmidt made just one change to his starting lineup, bringing in Bayern loanee Arijon Ibrahimović for Adrian Beck. Defender Patrick Mainka has now played every minute of Heidenheim's 100 Bundesliga games. The visitors' frustration was palpable. They had defended resolutely for most of the match, only to be denied by a freak goal in the 100th minute. The result leaves their survival hopes hanging by a thread.

Bayern turn attention to PSG Champions League clash

Bayern now face a critical Champions League semifinal second leg against Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday, trailing 5-4 from the first leg. Kompany's rotation against Heidenheim was clearly designed to keep his key players fresh for that match, but the disjointed performance raised questions about the team's form and cohesion. "It was the mentality, the belief," Kompany said after the match. "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 extended Bayern's unbeaten run in the Bundesliga, but the manner of the performance will concern the coaching staff. With the league title already secured, the Champions League remains the primary objective, and Bayern will need a significant improvement to overturn the deficit against PSG.
