Borussia Monchengladbach's 1-1 draw at home to Mainz meant defending champions Bayern Munich finished the weekend four points clear in the Bundesliga.
An early strike by Germany squad member Max Kruse for 'Gladbach at Borussia Park was cancelled out by a dubious first-half penalty, converted by midfielder Jonas Hofmann. Hosts 'Gladbach were denied a late winner by a goal-mouth scramble and the single point left them third, missing out on the chance to reclaim second place from Hoffenheim, who beat Schalke 2-1 on Saturday.
The result in Monchengladbach means Pep Guardiola's Bayern now have a significant lead over the chasing pack after their 4-0 romp over Hannover on Saturday at Munich's Allianz Arena.
Wolfsburg are seventh after defender Naldo sealed a 1-0 win over Augsburg following a superb strike from 13 metres out from the ex-Brazil defender on 58 minutes sealed Wolves' win to move Dieter Hecking's side up the table.
