Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich drew with Nuremberg to give Borussia Dortmund hope in the title race, but it could have been worse as the struggling hosts missed a last-minute penalty.
Niko Kovac's side went behind in the Bavarian derby to Matheus Pereira's goal from 18 yards after Sven Ulreich parried Eduard Lowen's shot.
Bayern equalised when Serge Gnabry shinned Kingsley Coman's cross over keeper Christian Mathenia.

Bayern, seeking a seventh consecutive title, are two points above Dortmund, who lost 4-2 to Schalke on Saturday, with three games remaining. That result led to Dortmund manager Lucien Favre conceding the title.
Nuremberg, meanwhile, are in the relegation zone, five points adrift of safety.
