In a weekend full of drama in the Bundesliga, Borussia Dortmund's defender Nico Schlotterbeck was sent off, contributing to a 0-0 draw against Werder Bremen. Schlotterbeck received his second yellow card for a clumsy tackle on Justin Njinmah in the 73rd minute.
Stuttgart was denied a win in dramatic fashion as Maxim Leitsch's diving header in stoppage time ensured a 3-3 draw for Mainz. Stuttgart had taken a 3-2 lead late in the game with Fabian Rieder's free kick, but Mainz's late equalizer marked another instance of Stuttgart squandering leads this season.
Meanwhile, Holstein Kiel's coach, Marcel Rapp, was sent off in their first-ever home game in the Bundesliga, which ended in a 2-0 loss to Wolfsburg. Notable victories included Borussia Moenchengladbach winning 2-0 at Bochum and Frankfurt beating Hoffenheim 3-1. Champion Leverkusen hosted Leipzig later Saturday.
