VfL Wolfsburg fought back from two goals down to draw 2-2 at VfL Bochum on Sunday and go joint fourth in the Bundesliga.
Bochum, playing at home, took the lead through Slovak striker Stanislav Sestak in the 12th minute before Christoph Dabrowski doubled its advantage with a 50th minute header past Wolfsburg's Portuguese defender Ricardo Costa.
Costa made amends just moments later when he raced forward to meet a Marcel Schaefer cross. Bochum's Algerian defender Anthar Yahia attempted to clear, but the ball rebounded off Costa's leg and rolled into the net.
Substitute Mahir Saglik then grabbed the equalizer in the 69th minute to deny Bochum its first home win since March.
"We had far too many good chances in the second half for me to be satisfied with a point," said Wolfsburg coach Felix Magath.
Promoted Hoffenheim are the unlikely Bundesliga leaders with two wins from two matches. They beat Borussia Moenchengladbach 1-0 on Saturday as Vedad Ibisevic scored his third goal of the season. The match featured two promoted teams.
In Sunday's other match, Eintracht Frankfurt came from behind to snatch a late 1-1 draw away to Cologne. Both teams secured their first points of the campaign.
Promoted Cologne could have been 2-0 up by half time after Milivoje Novakovic gave them the lead after 33 minutes but Roda Antar's penalty six minutes later struck the post.
Christoph Daum's side failed to press in the second half and were punished in the 81st minute when 21-year-old Czech striker Martin Fenin headed home the equalizer.
On Saturday, Bayern Munich rallied with 10 men to escape with a 1-1 draw at Borussia Dortmund and Werder Bremen and Schalke, last season's runner-up and No. 3, also played to a 1-1 draw.
