Bayern Munich Beat Heidenheim 4-2 After 2.67-Goal Mark
bayern munich beat 1. FC Heidenheim 4-2 on Saturday afternoon, ending the visitors’ latest productive trip to the Allianz Arena. Heidenheim had arrived with a strange local edge: 2.67 goals per match across its three competitive fixtures in Munich before kickoff.
The result pushed Bayern through another high-scoring meeting with Heidenheim and kept the home side’s recent pattern intact. For Heidenheim, the loss left its relegation fight hanging on other results, with Sunday’s St. Pauli-Mainz match set to shape the margin.
Heidenheim’s Fast Start
Frank Schmidt’s team took the lead in the 22nd minute when Budu Zivzivadze scored, and Eren Dinkci doubled it shortly after. For a brief stretch, Heidenheim looked ready to turn the Allianz Arena trend into something even more uncomfortable for Bayern.
That opening mattered because Heidenheim had already taken Bayern deep in three previous visits. It lost 4-5 in the DFB-Pokal quarter-finals on 3 April 2019, then dropped its first Bundesliga trip to Munich 2-4 in November 2023, before another 2-4 loss at the Allianz Arena in December 2024.
Bayern Munich and the Munich Record
Bayern answered with four goals and turned the match around to win 4-2. Across five Bundesliga meetings with Heidenheim, Bayern had averaged just under four goals per game, and this one stayed well inside that range.
The wider Munich record gave the scoreline more bite. Before Saturday, Heidenheim had averaged exactly 2.67 goals per match at the Allianz Arena, more than Real Madrid’s two goals per outing there and above the 1.5 averages posted by Inter Milan and Paris Saint-Germain.
Relegation Pressure in Munich
The defeat also carried immediate consequences in the table. If Heidenheim lost and St. Pauli beat Mainz on Sunday, Heidenheim would already be certain of relegation.
That was the cost of letting a 2-0 lead slip in Munich. Schmidt’s side still left with two goals on the board, but Bayern’s comeback turned a live survival scenario into a race that now depended on other results as much as its own work.
