Bayern Munich's six-game winning streak was ended on Saturday night as the German champions were held to a 1-1 draw at Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga.
Munich broke the deadlock on 29 minutes when Toni Kroos smashed the ball into the top left corner following a brilliant piece of individual magic from Franck Ribery.
The lead lasted for just two minutes before Sidney Sam equalised against the run of play. He tapped home from close range after Stefan Kiessling had drilled in a low cross.
Bayern's dominance quickly resumed, but, despite several chances being created, including glorious late opportunities for Bastian Schweinsteiger and Mario Gotze, they could not find a winner.
The result sees Bayern climb above title rivals Borussia Dortmund, who lost 2-0 at Borussia Monchengladbach earlier in the day.
