Bayer Leverkusen were once again late to find the net, but claimed a 2-1 comeback win against Hoffenheim on Saturday and increased their advantaged at the top of the Bundesliga standings to 13 points.
Maximilian Beier put Hoffenhiem ahead in the 33rd minute and his goal looked set to be the winner, especially with goalkeeper Oliver Baumann having a stunning performance to deny Leverkusen several times.
But the league leaders didn't give up hopes and first found the equalizer with Robert Andrich in the 88th minute, before taking all three points thanks to Patrik Schick's stoppage-time winner.
Leverkusen are now 13 points ahead of second-placed Bayern Munich, who host Borussia Dortmund later, and unbeaten in 39 matches across all competitions this season.
Elsewhere, Freiburg routed Borussia Mönchengladbach 3-0, VfL Wolfsburg defeated Werder Bremen 2-0, while RB Leipzig v Mainz and Eintracht Frankfurt v Union Berlin both ended in a goalless draw.
