Borussia Dortmund came from two goals down to snatch a 2-2 draw against winless Stuttgart for a point which does neither side much good.
- Tuesday: Bayern bring Paderborn back to earth
Daniel Didavi scored twice for Stuttgart, who seemed to be heading for their first three points of the season on the day director of sport Fredi Bobic was relieved of his duties, but they were unable to defend their lead.
Bobic was relieved of his duties before the team arrived at the Westfalenstadion. There had been growing calls for Bobic to be dismissed from the club's fans during the first four games of the season, but to be relieved of his duties before kick-off on Wednesday night was unexpected.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang pulled a goal back for Dortmund in the 73rd minute with Ciro Immobile levelling four minutes from time.
Son Heung-Min helped get Bayer Leverkusen back to winning ways with the only goal of the game in a 1-0 win against Augsburg.
The South Korean netted just before a storm led to a short delay in play, and Augsburg were unable to find a way back into the game in trying conditions.
As a result, the Bavarians saw their two-game winning streak brought to an abrupt end as Leverkusen moved up to second in the standings, just a point behind Bayern Munich.
Hannover moved up to third thanks to a 1-0 win over Cologne, who had not conceded a goal all season until Wednesday night.
Joselu grabbed the only goal of the game just six minutes in to earn the Reds their third win of the season.
Cologne threw everything forward in the second half, but found a well-disciplined Hannover rearguard unwilling to let their points slip at the Niedersachsenstadion.
Max Kruse scored the only goal of the game as Borussia Monchengladbach climbed to sixth with a 1-0 win over Hamburg.
The Germany international struck in the 25th minute to inflict the first defeat on new Hamburg coach Josef Zinnbauer, who had started out with a 0-0 draw against Bayern Munich at the weekend.
It was a deserved second win of the season for Lucien Favre's men, who appear to be hitting their stride with two wins and three draws, extending their unbeaten start to the season while leaving Hamburg languishing at the foot of the table.
Salomon Kalou scored his first Bundesliga goal to earn Hertha Berlin a 1-0 win over Wolfsburg at the Olympiastadion.
The former Chelsea player, making his first start for the Old Lady, scored the only goal of the game in the 35th minute as Hertha picked up their first win of the season.
Wolfsburg looked a shadow of the side which had beaten Bayer Leverkusen 4-1 on Saturday as they missed the chance to climb the table, instead losing ground on the leading sides.
