Bayern recovers from 3 goals down to beat Mainz for confidence boost before PSG
clash

BERLIN (AP) --- Bundesliga champion Bayern Munich survived a scare, fighting
back from three goals down to beat Mainz 4-3 on Saturday for a morale-booster
before facing Paris Saint-Germain.
Bayern, which goes to Paris on Tuesday for the first leg of their Champions
League semifinal, arrived in Mainz in good cheer after clinching the title last
weekend and reaching the German Cup final with a win over Bayer Leverkusen on
Wednesday.
But Mainz romped to a deserved 3-0 halftime lead against a heavily-rotated
Bayern team, with Harry Kane, Jamal Musiala and Michael Olise among those on
the bench.
Mainz might even have scored more than the goals that came from from Dominik
Kohr, Paul Nebel and Sheraldo Becker.
Bayern coach Vincent Kompany sent on Kane and Olise for Luis Daz and
Aleksandar Pavlovic at the break -- all four are likely to start against PSG.
Nicolas Jackson pulled one back in the 53rd and Olise let fly with a brilliant
strike inside the far post in the 73rd before Musiala equalized in the 81st.
Kane then scored the winner two minutes later from the rebound after Daniel
Batz had saved Musiala's effort.
Heidenheim hope Last-place Heidenheim staved off demotion with a 2-0 win over relegation rival St. Pauli. Budu Zivzivadze scored early and Eren Dinki late on to keep Heidenheim's hopes of survival alive with three rounds remaining. Second-last Wolfsburg was unable to capitalize on St. Pauli's loss as it drew 0-0 at home with Borussia Mnchengladbach. Cologne remains in danger after a 2-1 loss at home to Leverkusen in their Rhine derby. The win moved Leverkusen a point behind fourth-place Stuttgart before its game against visiting Werder Bremen on Sunday. Also Saturday, Eintracht Frankfurt drew 1-1 at Augsburg. ___ AP soccer: https://apnews.com/hub/soccer
