managed to equalize 15 minutes before the end through
Tim Borowski.

Nigel de
Jong
played the full game.
Schalke 04
Fred Rutten
saw his Schalke also get a late goal to earn themselves
a draw at Werder Bremen.

managed to level the two top teams shortly before the
final whistle.
Schalke were still without the
injured
Orlando
Engelaar
and Jefferson Farfan.
Hannover 96
Arnold
Bruggink
and his club Hannover 96 didn't get beyond a 0-0 draw

in the 72nd minute. The former Twente and PSV player
had two good opportunities to give his side the lead
in the first half.
