SCHALKE 04 snatched a 1-0 win at Hertha Berlin on Saturday to pull level on points with Bayern Munich at the top of the German Bundesliga, after the treble-chasing Bavarians were held 1-1 at Borussia Moenchengladbach.
Heiko Westermann fired home from close range in the 87th minute to give Schalke the points and leave the title run-in a perfectly poised two-horse race with two games left to play.
Bayern fell behind to a Marco Reus goal on the hour but Miroslav Klose headed an equalizer 13 minutes later, keeping it top on goal difference.
Lucas Barrios, who is qualified to play for either Argentina or Paraguay at the World Cup but has yet to be picked by either, hit a hat-trick in Borussia Dortmund's 3-2 win at Nuremberg, taking his tally for the season to 18.
Stefan Kiessling, on the fringes of Joachim Loew's Germany squad, scored twice, the second a penalty, in Bayer Leverkusen's 3-0 win over struggling Hanover 96 to take his tally to 21 and overhaul Edin Dzeko as the league's top scorer.
Aristide Bance scored twice to help Mainz 05 draw 3-3 at home to Eintracht Frankfurt.
Saturday's results left Bayern and Schalke with 64 points from 32 games and guaranteed both teams a place in the Champions League next year.
Bayern hosts Bochum and visits Hertha in its final two games while Schalke entertains Werder Bremen and then travels to Mainz.
Bremen moved into third spot, which would earn it a Champions League qualifying place, on 57 points, ahead of Leverkusen on goal difference, following a 1-0 win over FC Cologne.
