VfB Stuttgart's Mexico international Maza rescued a 2-2 draw at FC Nuremberg with a header at the far post six minutes from time. The draw was enough to move Stuttgart into third on 17.
Elsewhere, it was: Kaiserslautern 1, SC Freiburg 0; and Hertha Berlin 0, Mainz 0.
Bayern, on 22, travels to Hanover 96 today. Werder Bremen is fourth, five points behind, after drawing 1-1 at Augsburg on Friday.
