A heavily rotated Bayern Munich side fought back to secure a 3-3 home draw against bottom-of-the-table Heidenheim on Saturday.

With a crucial Champions League semi-final return leg against Paris Saint-Germain looming, coach Vincent Kompany made seven changes to his starting lineup, resting key players like Harry Kane and Joshua Kimmich.

Despite the rotation, Bayern found themselves trailing 2-0 in the first half following strikes from Budu Zivzivadze and Eren Dinkci.

Leon Goretzka spearheaded the comeback for the hosts, scoring twice to level the match with 30 minutes left on the clock.

His first goal came from a dipping free-kick—his first successful set-piece strike since 2017—followed by a header from a corner.

Although Zivzivadze scored again to restore Heidenheim’s lead briefly, substitute Michael Olise rescued a point for Bayern by scoring in the 10th minute of stoppage time.

Elsewhere in the Bundesliga, Stuttgart managed a dramatic 3-3 draw against top-four rivals Hoffenheim despite being reduced to 10 men after Atakan Karazor’s red card.

In another action, Union Berlin recovered from a two-goal deficit to draw 2-2 with Cologne, earning coach Marie-Louise Eta her first point.

Meanwhile, Augsburg secured a 3-1 victory over Werder Bremen, and Hamburg solidified their status in the top flight with a 2-1 win at Eintracht Frankfurt.
