Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich dropped points for the second straight weekend after a lacklustre 1-1 draw at Union Berlin on Saturday.
Second-placed Bayer Leverkusen, who ended Bayern's run of 11 straight Bundesliga titles last term, can cut the gap to six points in case of a win at VfB Stuttgart on Sunday - with eight matchdays then left.
A mistake by stand-in Bayern goalkeeper Jonas Urbig allowed Benedict Hollerbach to level on 83 minutes after substitute Leroy Sané's opener.
The top two both lost last weekend at home to Bochum and Werder Bremen, before Bayern beat their big rivals in the Champions League last 16 in mid-week.
Third-placed Mainz, who have never been in the Champions League, were held 2-2 by top-four rivals Freiburg.
Germany striker Jonathan Burkardt netted first as Freiburg keeper Noah Atubolu conceded for the first time in 609 minutes.
Mainz were reduced to 10 men just before half-time when Dominik Kohr was dismissed for a professional foul and Freiburg levelled through substitute Michael Gregoritsch.
Andreas Hanche-Olsen put the hosts back ahead but Lukas Kübler soon equalized as Mainz stayed three points clear of fifth-placed Freiburg.
Alassane Pléa's hat-trick sent Borussia Mönchengladbach up to sixth and a prospective Conference League spot with a 4-2 win at mid-table Werder Bremen.
Gladbach's win means stuttering RB Leipzig have now slipped to seventh ahead of entertaining 11th-placed Borussia Dortmund in Saturday's late game.
Eighth-placed Wolfsburg lost 1-0 at Augsburg in ninth.
