Wolfsburg, which is 16th on the table, will now go into its final-day meeting with 17th-placed St Pauli on the same points after Jackson Irvine's side lost 2-1 at RB Leipzig.

If Dieter Hecking's Wolfsburg team can avoid defeat, it will go into the relegation play-off, but should it lose, it will be playing in the second tier next season.

Olise's 56th-minute stunner condemned Wolfsburg to defeat at Volkswagen Arena, where Vincent Kompany's team bounced back from its UEFA Champions League semi-final heartbreak having lost to Paris Saint-Germain last week.

The hosts carved out the first chance after five minutes as Vinicius Souza met Patrick Wimmer's far-post cross with a thumping point-blank header that Jonas Urbig somehow saved with his face.

Bayern regained control from there, with Tom Bischof seeing a brilliant 25-yard piledriver crash into the post, before Leon Goretzka dragged the rebound wide of the target.

The visitors were handed an opportunity to take the lead 11 minutes before the break as Olise was dragged down inside the box by Konstantinos Koulierakis, but Harry Kane made a rare misstep from 12 yards out, firing his spot kick wide of the target.

Urbig was called into action again shortly after, producing smart saves to deny Denis Vavro's long-range drive and Christian Eriksen on the rebound.

Bayern finally found the breakthrough in sensational fashion as Olise cut on to his favoured left foot and curled a superb strike in off the underside of the crossbar.

That strike looked to have sealed the result, but Mattias Svanberg squandered a golden opportunity for Wolfsburg late on as he struck the post from close range after failing to beat Urbig.

Kompany praised his Bayern Munich side's adaptability after watching it battle hard for the result.

"We played against a team that was ready to do absolutely everything to win the game," he said.

"The first 10 minutes were decent, then we lost our momentum, so the opponent felt they could get something today and were dangerous.

"We lost the ball a lot and lost important duels. We did much better in the second half – respect for how the team reacted.

"Once again, credit for the response. It's not easy to come out and then change everything – but we did that."

Bayern goalkeeper Urbig, who played a crucial role for Bayern with his five saves, acknowledged Bayern was hurt after its UEFA Champions League exit, but insisted it remains determined to end the season on a high note.

"It started from scratch again. It's clear that Wednesday [Thursday AEST] hurt a lot, but we don't need to dwell on that or feel sorry for ourselves, it goes on," he said.

"Ulle [Sven Ulreich] and Manu [Manuel Neuer] came up to me straight after the game and congratulated me on my performance, which made me really happy.

"We still have a home match against Koln and the cup final, sadly not the Champions League. After that, I'll keep looking forward."
