Jupp Heynckes took a gamble on Saturday by resting his stars for Bayern Munich's away match at Augsburg where victory will hand the Bavarians a sixth straight Bundesliga title.
With one eye on Wednesday's Champions League quarterfinal home leg against Sevilla, Bayern's head coach opted to rest a host of big names.
Top scorer Robert Lewandowski, plus Thomas Mueller, Thiago Alcantara, Mats Hummels, Franck Ribery and Javi Martinez were all named on the bench.
Augsburg took a shock lead on 18 minutes when Bayern defender Niklas Suele scored an own goal after Sergio Cordova's shot was saved, but the deflection smashed into Suele's face.
Corentin Tolisso brought Bayern level with a header when he was left unmarked in the area to equalise on 32 minutes before James Rodriguez put Munich 2-1 up before half-time.
