After coming off the bench to save an injured Bayern Munich, Jamal Musiala scored twice in a 4-2 victory over a struggling Heidenheim team, putting his team six points ahead in the Bundesliga. In this round, the top four teams are all playing teams in the bottom half. Despite dominating the game, Bayern failed to convert pressure into points, and Harry Kane's absence was evident. Eighteen minutes in, Dayot Upamecano headed from a corner to give the German powerhouses a one-goal lead at halftime. In the second half, the France defender passed straight to Mathias Honsak, who eagerly accepted the invitation to equalize.
Musiala, 21, came on as a substitute for Bayern, whose team was eliminated in the German Cup by Bayer Leverkusen midweek. Leon Goretzka's late goal put Bayern on course, but Heidenheim scored again, this time through Niklas Dorsch, to keep the pressure on the home team. Musiala would have the last say as he scored his second goal.
