Bundesliga leaders Dortmund can re-establish their eight-point gap over Leverkusen with a win at bottom-placed Borussia Moenchengladbach later on Saturday but that will not be enough to give them their seventh German title this weekend.
Leverkusen, aware that a draw or defeat would kill their own faint title hopes, recovered from a goal down when left-back Michal Kadlec drilled in a header just before the break to cancel out Gylfi Sigurdsson’s 28th minute strike.
A defensive blunder by Ryan Babel in the 51st minute allowed Leverkusen’s Arturo Vidal to chip to Stefan Kiessling, the striker chesting it down for the Chilean, who had no trouble firing the hosts into the lead from inside the box.
