[MyDaily = Reporter Kim Jong-guk] Bayern Munich, with Kim Min-jae in the starting XI, again showed defensive vulnerabilities in their match against Heidenheim.

Bayern trailed 1-2 at halftime in the 32nd round of the 2025–26 Bundesliga at the Allianz Arena in Munich on May 2 (Korea time). With the second leg of their 2025–26 UEFA Champions League semifinal against Paris Saint-Germain on the horizon, Bayern rotated the squad and paired Kim Min-jae with Jonathan Tah at center back. After conceding eight goals across their previous two games, Bayern gave up two first-half goals to bottom-placed Heidenheim. The club had already clinched the Bundesliga title, but defensive lapses have shown up recently — they allowed three first-half goals against Mainz in Round 31 and again conceded two in the first half against Heidenheim.

Bayern’s lineup featured Jackson as the lone forward, with Musiala, Goretzka and Laimer driving the attack. Pavlovic and N’Diaye held the midfield, while Ito, Jonathan Tah, Kim Min-jae and Stanisic made up the back line. Urbich started in goal.

Heidenheim struck first in the 22nd minute. Jibjibaze met a lofted pass from teammate Busch and finished with a left-footed shot into the net.

They doubled the lead in the 31st minute when Dinkcic timed a run into the space behind Bayern’s defense, collected Busch’s pass and hammered a right-footed shot past the goalkeeper.

Bayern mounted a response in the 43rd minute when Goretzka converted a free kick from the left edge of the penalty area, bending a right-footed attempt into the corner. The goal cut the deficit to 2-1, but Bayern still went into the break behind.
