Fortuna Duesseldorf's Dani Schahin struck twice in the second half to earn a 2-2 draw at home to Schalke 04 in the Bundesliga on Friday with the visitors only having themselves to blame for not taking all three points.
Klaas-Jan Huntelaar and Joel Matip gave the Champions League side a 2-0 lead by halftime but Schahin's double, including a powerful 77th minute header, took Fortuna's unbeaten run since the start of the season to six matches.
Schalke moved up to third place on 11 points.
Promoted Fortuna, still unbeaten along with Bayern and second-placed Eintracht Frankfurt, are fifth on 10 points.
Huntelaar, last season's Bundesliga top scorer, drilled in a stunning left-foot shot after slipping the ball past two defenders in the 13th minute.
Joel Matip added a second goal seven minutes later and Schalke looked to be cruising to an easy victory.
However, Schahin cut the deficit three minutes after the break, connecting with an Andriy Voronin corner.
