Olise inspires Bayern's wild late escape as Heidenheim are denied famous Allianz win

For Heidenheim, it was a cruel ending. 

They had been on course for a famous first-ever point at Bayern's home and came within seconds of claiming it in sensational style, only to be denied when Olise's shot hit the post and bounced in off goalkeeper Diant Ramaj in the 100th minute. 

Vincent Kompany had made seven changes from Tuesday's game against Paris Saint-Germain, clearly balancing this match with Bayern's looming Champions League semifinal second leg. 

Despite all that rotation, Bayern still dominated possession from the beginning against a Heidenheim side desperately trying to cling to survival hopes. Yet for all their control, the home side lacked real bite for long stretches of the first half. 

Most of their threat came from distance. Leon Goretzka was repeatedly involved, forcing saves from Ramaj, while Hiroki Ito also tried his luck without success. But Bayern's sterile control was exposed in the 22nd minute when Heidenheim struck from a set-piece situation that the hosts failed to clear properly. 

Marnon Busch lifted the ball back into the area and Budu Zivzivadze instinctively got the crucial touch, sending it beyond Jonas Urbig to stun the Allianz. 

Heidenheim did not stop there. They continued to look dangerous whenever they broke forward, and after Eren Dinkci had already gone close with one effort, he made no mistake with the next. Busch again was the provider, delivering a perfect ball behind Jonathan Tah for Dinkci to run onto and slide beyond Urbig to make it 2-0. 

At that point, Bayern were wobbling badly. Goretzka, however, gave them a vital route back into the match just before half-time with a brilliant free-kick into the top corner, a goal that changed the tone heading into the break and gave Kompany something to build on. 

He responded by going big. Before the second half resumed, Harry Kane, Luis Diaz, Michael Olise, and Joshua Kimmich were all introduced, a statement of intent from a manager who clearly had no desire to let this game drift away. 

The changes transformed Bayern's threat level. Kane quickly produced a superb pass for Nicolas Jackson, whose finish was brilliantly saved by Ramaj, before Busch cleared Kim Min-jae's effort off the line. Bayern were now swarming, and the equalizer arrived in the 58th minute. 

Olise's corner found Goretzka, who powered home his header to make it 2-2. From there, Bayern looked ready to overwhelm Heidenheim completely. 

Olise curled narrowly wide, Kimmich struck the post , and Bayern kept driving forward, but they still remained vulnerable to the counter. That vulnerability was exposed again when Urbig had to produce a fine save to deny Dinkci from close range. 

Even so, the biggest shock was still to come. With around 15 minutes left, Zivzivadze surged into the box, skipped past Olise , and finished brilliantly into the top corner to put Heidenheim back in front. It was an outstanding individual goal and one that left Bayern staring at a highly embarrassing defeat. 

The champions kept coming. Diaz fired just wide, Bayern pinned the visitors back , and Olise remained their most dangerous source of invention. Then, in the 100th minute, the decisive twist arrived. Olise's shot came back off the post, struck Ramaj on the back, and bounced into the net for a heartbreaking own goal that ripped victory away from Heidenheim. 

It was the final act of a game that had swung wildly from one side to the other. 

For Heidenheim, the point at least extends their recent resilience, with only one defeat in their last six matches. But it still leaves them three points behind St. Pauli, who occupy the relegation playoff place and still have to play on Sunday. 

For Bayern, the result means they have now lost only once in their last 21 matches in all competitions. 

But this was far from a comfortable night. Without Olise's late influence, it could have ended in real embarrassment.
