Bayern Munich 1-1 Hoffenheim
Bayern Munich remain two points clear at the top of the table despite a 1-1 draw against Hoffenheim at the Allianz Arena.
Bayern made two changes from their heavy loss against Manchester City in the UEFA Champions League, as Joao Cancelo and Thomas Muller were recalled while Sadio Mane was not in the squad after he was suspended and fined by the club for allegedly punching Leroy Sane in the face.
The Bavarians went ahead on 17 minutes after Cancelo showed composure to bury a through ball by Benjamin Pavard in the box.
Despite limited chances thereafter, Serge Gnabry nearly doubled the lead for Bayern nine minutes before the interval with a rocket that missed by a whisker wide after he surged through on goal.
Adrej Kramaric eventually levelled matters for Hoffenheim with 19 minutes to go from a superb free-kick.
Benjamin Pavard thought had restored the lead for Thomas Tuchel's charges after he poked home a flicked header at the back post but the goal disallowed by the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) for offside.

Stuttgart were reduced to ten men just before the interval after Konstantinos Mavropanos got a second booking for a bad foul and was sent off.
Serhou Guirassy had a goal for the hosts nine minutes into the second stanza but his effort was disallowed by the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) for offside.
Tanguy Coulibaly eventually reduced the deficit for Stuttgart with 12 minutes left with a deflected shot from a solo run in the box and Josha Vagnoman levelled matters six minutes later with a strike from a rebound.
Giovanni Reyna thought he had scored the winner for Dortmund after he also capitalized on a rebound in stoppage time but Silas snatched a dramatic equaliser for Stuttgart deep in added time.
