MUNICH, Germany, May ⁠2 (Reuters) - Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich scored through Michale Olise with the ⁠last kick of the game to snatch a 3-3 draw against bottom ‌club Heidenheim in the league on Saturday, after battling back from two goals down.

Bayern coach Vincent Kompany rotated his side heavily after Tuesday's 5-4 loss to Paris St Germain in their Champions ​League semi-final first leg and ahead of next week's ⁠return match in Munich.

Treble-chasing Bayern, ⁠who have already secured the league title, quickly found themselves two goals down with ⁠Budu ‌Zivzivadze and Eren Dinkci finding far too much space to beat keeper Jonas Urbig

The Bavarians, who last week came from 3-0 down to ⁠beat Mainz 05 4-3 in the Bundesliga and cut the ​deficit against PSG ‌from 5-2 to 5-4 on Tuesday, pulled back a goal with Leon ⁠Goretzka's superb freekick ​just before the break.

The midfielder, who will be leaving Bayern at the end of the season, volleyed in from close range in the 57th to level but Heidenheim, desperate ⁠for points to have a shot at reaching ​the relegation playoff spot in the last two remaining matchdays, hit back once more.

Zivzivadze curled a shot into the top far corner after shaking off Olise in the ⁠76th to put his team 3-2 up and set a club record for scoring for a fourth successive 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 10 minutes into stoppage time.

Bayern ⁠are on 83 points with second-placed Borussia Dortmund, on 67, in action at Borussia ​Moenchengladbach on Sunday.

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