BUNDESLIGA leader Bayern Munich was held to 1-1 at Cologne, allowing Schalke to pull within two points with a 4-1 win at Eintracht Frankfurt yesterday.
Former Bayern striker Lucas Podolski scored his first since September to give Cologne the lead after 32 minutes, before Bastian Schweinsteiger equalized to salvage a point for the visitors.
"We gave up two points in the first half," said Bayern goalkeeper Jorg Butt, who badly misjudged Poldolski's shot for the first goal. "We didn't have many chances in the first half and gave up a lot of chances. When you fall behind 1-0 it's tough to come back."
Bayern improved to 53 points from 25 rounds while Schalke moved to 51 points with its dominant victory at Eintracht.
Schweinsteiger said Bayern were done in by their own mistakes.
"We were first and wanted to take home three points," he said. "We knew that Cologne wanted to destroy our game with their defense. And they did. But with our quality we should have won this game. But we just couldn't get things done today."
Bayer Leverkusen have 50 points and can take the lead with a win at Nurnberg today.
Schalke grabbed a 2-0 lead after just 15 minutes and scored two goals in the final 10 minutes. Still, Schalke coach Felix Magath refused to include his club among the contenders for the Bundesliga title.
"We still have a long way to go," Magath said. "We saw again leading 2-1 that we were uncertain of ourselves. In the next few weeks we will be playing better opponents and we have to play a bit better."
Fourth-place Hamburg beat Hertha Berlin 1-0 thanks to Marcell Jansen's goal late in the first half.
Borussia Dortmund trail Hamburg by just one point in fifth place after a convincing 3-0 home victory over Borussia Moenchengladbach.
Mohamed Zidan scored twice and set up a third goal.
"We are satisfied to have finally won again after we struggled recently. If we can keep up playing like this, then we can stay among the European places," said Dortmund stirker Lucas Barrios.
Werder Bremen erased a two-goal deficit at home against Stuttgart for a 2-2 draw to sit in sixth place.
Edin Dzeko scored twice as Wolfsburg earned a 4-1 home victory over Bochum, and Hannover grabbed a critical 2-1 victory at fellow relegation candidate Freiburg.
Hannover snapped a nine-game losing streak and notched its first victory since Oct. 31, before the suicide death of Germany goalkeeper Robert Enke.
