Marco Höger scored a fantastic solo goal as Schalke 04 and 1899 Hoffenheim shared six goals between them on Saturday at the Rhein-Neckar Arena.
Kevin-Prince Boateng and Joël Matip got Schalke off to a flying start, but Anthony Modeste hauled the hosts back into the game.
Höger then restored Schalke's two-goal advantage before the interval with a fine individual effort.
The 24-year-old received the ball from a Dennis Aogo throw-in and ventured straight towards goal.
Höger beat four Hoffenheim defenders before slotting the ball through the legs of goalkeeper Koen Casteels.
However, a Roberto Firmino penalty and a David Abraham free-kick saw Hoffenheim snatch back two points from their opponents.
