The Bavarians had won their last 10 coming into the game, but they had to settle for their first draw of the season which still extended their lead at the top of the Bundesliga to three points.
Bastian Schweinsteiger had a goal rightly dis allowed for Bayern, who at least managed to extend their record of not having conceded a goal for over a month and a half. Bayern goalkeeper Manuel Neuer has not had to fish a ball out of the back of his net since August 15, on the opening day of the Bundesliga season.
Borussia Dortmund bounced straight back from their midweek Champions League disappointment to see off winless Augsburg with an emphatic 4-0 win at the Westfalenstadion.
Robert Lewandowski grabbed a hat-trick and Mario Gotze was also on target as the defending Bundesliga champions moved up to fourth in the table with their second win in a row taking them to within six points of the summit. They were aided by some poor defending from Augsburg, who dropped to the bottom of the table as a result of the heavy defeat.
A sensational individual goal from Eren Derdiyok helped Bayer Leverkusen get back to winning ways in the Bundesliga with a 3-1 win over Wolfsburg, which ta kes them into a pack of teams chasing the top three and leaves the Wolves struggling on the back of their fifth defeat of the season.
Gonzalo Castro gave Leverkusen the lead in the 14th minute, but Mario Mandzukic levelled for the visitors on the hour mark. Derdiyok restored the home team's advantage five minutes later - meeting Hanno Balitsch's cross with an acrobatic overhead kick - and Stefan Kiessling rounded off the win five minutes from time.
The three points will be particularly welcome for Leverkusen coach Robin Dutt, who had moved into the firing line after heavy defeats to Cologne and Bayern Munich in their last two league matches.
Nurnberg and Mainz shared six goals in an entertaining Bundesliga encounter at the Frankenstadion.
Markus Feulner and Robert Mak put the home side two goals up within 20 minutes, but Mainz drew level before half time with goals from Niko Bungert and Eric-Maxim Choupo-Moting. The visitors took the le ad early in the second half through Andreas Ivanschitz, but Tomas Pekhart had the final say with an equaliser eight minutes from time.
At the Olympiastadion Hertha Berlin ended Cologne's recent revival with an
emphatic 3-0 success.
Youngster Pierre-Michel Lasogga was on target twice with Raffael netting the
third goal as the home team wrapped up the win inside the first half.
