Hoffenheim brought an end to Bayern Munich's winning streak by holding them to a goalless draw at the Rhein-Neckar Arena.
The Bavarians had won their last 10 coming into this game, but they had to settle for their first draw of the season which still extended their lead at the top of the Bundesliga to three points.
Bastian Schweinsteiger had a goal rightly disallowed for Bayern, who at least managed to extend their record of not having conceded a goal for over a month and a half.
Bayern goalkeeper Manuel Neuer has not had to fish a ball out of the back of his net since August 15, on the opening day of the Bundesliga season, but that almost changed in the 22nd minute.
He had to stretch to tip Marvin Compper's header past the post as Hoffenheim showed no fear against the league leaders.
Indeed, the home side grew in confidence as the first half progressed and it was they who were looking the more dangerous before the interval with Ryan Babel's acrobatic shot going straight at Neuer.
Bayern's first real chance arrived five minutes into the second half when Mario Gomez set up Toni Kroos inside the penalty area, but he delayed too long and Isaac Vorsah managed to block his shot.
It was Vorsah again who got in a block to deny Thomas Muller as Bayern started to improve going into the last 20 minutes.
Schweinsteiger had the ball in the back of the net in the 70th minute when he tapped in after Tom Starke fumbled Daniel van Buyten's header, but the linesman's flag was rightly raised to deny the Germany international.
That was the closest either side came to breaking the deadlock as they shared the spoils on a hot afternoon in Baden-Wurttemberg.
