Mainz 05 continued their dazzling Bundesliga run, beating hosts Bayern Munich 2-1 to remain top of the table with six wins from six matches on Saturday.
Hungarian Adam Szalai turned beautifully and fired in the winner with 13 minutes to play to lift Mainz to 18 points, three ahead of Borussia Dortmund, 3-1 winners at St Pauli.
The season's second defeat left Bayern, who were lacking injured Arjen Robben and Franck Ribery as well as their creativity, in eighth place 10 points behind the leaders.
Spaniard Raul scored his first goal of the season three minutes from time to help Schalke 04 rescue a 2-2 draw against Borussia Moenchengladbach, who squandered a two-goal lead, and move off the bottom into 16th spot on four points.
Hoffenheim are third on 11 points following their 1-1 draw at Cologne on Friday, with Bayer Leverkusen in fourth on goal difference after an impressive 4-1 win at VfB Stuttgart.
Champions League participants Werder Bremen host Hamburg SV in the northern derby later on Saturday (1630 GMT).
