Bundesliga 2025-26: Olise’s late goal cancels Bayern’s draw against Heidenheim

Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich scored through Michael Olise with the last kick of the match to grab a 3-3 draw against bottom club Heidenheim in the league on Saturday after fighting back from two goals down.

Bayern coach Vincent Kompany made significant changes to his squad after Tuesday’s 5-4 defeat by Paris St Germain in the first leg of the Champions League semi-final and ahead of next week’s second leg in Munich.

Chasing Bayern, who have already secured the league title, soon fell two goals behind, with Budu Zivzivadze and Eren Dinkci finding far too much space to beat goalkeeper Jonas Urbig.

The Bavarians, who came from 3-0 down last week, defeated Mainz 05 4-3 in the Bundesliga and reduced the deficit against PSG from 5-2 to 5-4 on Tuesday, pulled a goal back just before half-time with Leon Goretzka’s brilliant free kick.

The midfielder, who is set to leave Bayern at the end of the season, struck from close range at the 57th to ⁠level, but Heidenheim, desperate for points to have a chance of reaching the relegation play-off spot in the final two remaining matchdays, hit back again.

Zivzivadze curled a shot into the far top corner after shaking off Olise in the 76th, putting his team 3–2 ahead and setting a club record for scoring for a fourth consecutive league match. Substitute Olise then grabbed a point for the hosts with a long-range effort that went in off the back of Heidenheim keeper Diant Ramaj ten minutes into stoppage time.

Bayern is on 83 points, while Borussia ⁠Dortmund in second place, on 67, plays against Borussia Mönchengladbach on Sunday.

Heidenheim are in last place at 23rd, two behind VfL Wolfsburg and three behind St Pauli in the relegation play-off spot. Both Wolves and St Pauli play on Sunday.
