Werder Bremen scored twice in the final 15 minutes as they came back from two goals down to snatch a draw against Stuttgart.
Hugo Almeida halved the deficit in the 75th minute and Torsten Frings converted a penalty with nine minutes to go to level the scores.
First-half goals from Pavel Pogrebnyak and Sami Khedira had earlier put Stuttgart in the driving seat.
The draw kept Thomas Schaaf's hosts four points ahead of their opponents as both bid for a European place.
Stuttgart took the lead in the 16th minute as Aliaksandr Hleb's pass went through the legs of Bremen defender Naldo to Pogrebnyak, who beat goalkeeper Tim Wiese with a left-footed shot into the left corner from 11 yards.
Bremen striker Claudio Pizarro found himself alone in front of the Stuttgart goal 15 minutes later, but he could not beat keeper Jens Lehmann from five yards.
Stuttgart striker Cacau also missed a good chance in the 38th minute, sending a shot from eight yards over the crossbar.
But the visitors doubled the advantage four minutes later as Pogrebnyak sent a fine pass to the right wing for Timo Gebhart, who crossed into the middle for Khedira to score with his head.
Bremen grabbed a lifeline with 15 minutes to go.
Per Mertesacker sent a long diagonal pass to the left side where Almeida fired an effort past Lehmann and inside the far right post from 17 yards.
And Bremen equalised with nine minutes left when Marko Marin was brought down in the area by Stefano Celozzi.
Captain Frings took the responsibility of taking the resulting penalty and made no mistake, sending his spot-kick high to Lehmann's left to rescue a point for his side.
