Bayern Munich avoids surprise loss to last-place Heidenheim in Bundesliga
before PSG visits

BERLIN (AP) --- Bayern Munich scored with the last kick of the game to salvage
a 3-3 draw with last-place Heidenheim in the Bundesliga before it welcomes
Paris Saint-Germain for the second leg of their Champions League semifinal.
Michael Olise struck the post for Bayern and the ball bounced off Heidenheim
goalkeeper Diant Ramaj's back into the net for the equalizer in the 10th minute
of stoppage time on Saturday.
It was the third straight game that Bayern trailed at halftime, including its
5-4 loss to PSG in the first leg of their semifinal on Tuesday, and last
weekend's 4-3 win in Mainz, where the already crowned Bundesliga champion faced
a three-goal deficit.
Bayern coach Vincent Kompany made seven changes to the team that started
against PSG with Manuel Neuer, Dayot Upamecano, Alphonso Davies, Joshua
Kimmich, Michael Olise, Luis Daz and Harry Kane all on the substitutes' bench.
Heidenheim's Budu Zivzivadze and Eren Dinkci scored before Leon Goretzka pulled
one back with a free kick before the break, and Kompany sent on Kane, Daz,
Olise and Kimmich for the second half.
Goretzka leveled with his second goal in the 57th, Zivzivadze scored again to
restore Heidenheim's lead in the 76th, only for Olise to force the equalizer.
The draw leaves Heidenheim on the verge of relegation.
Other games Union Berlin fought back to draw 2-2 with Cologne for its first point under new coach Marie-Louise Eta, the first female head coach in the league. Tom Rothe pulled one back after a corner in the 73rd and substitute Livan Burcu let fly for what seemed for the home fans like a winner in the 89th, after Marius Blter and Said El Mala had scored for Cologne. The draw kept Union a point above Cologne and will probably be enough for survival. Hoffenheim drew with Stuttgart 3-3 in their duel for Champions League qualification, and Hamburger SV won 2-1 at Eintracht Frankfurt to move a point above Union. Augsburg won 3-1 at Werder Bremen. Bayer Leverkusen was hosting Leipzig later for another duel with Champions League qualification at stake. ___ AP soccer: https://apnews.com/hub/soccer
