Hertha Berlin stunned Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich 2-0 on Friday for their first win against them in nine years, snapping the champions' unbeaten run this season and moving the Berliners joint top in the league.
Hertha captain Vedad Ibisevic sent Manuel Neuer the wrong way to score with a 23rd minute penalty after Jerome Boateng had brought down Salomon Kalou.
Slovak forward Ondrej Duda continued his sensational form with his fifth goal of the season, firing in on the stroke of half-time.
Bayern, without injured Leon Goretzka, had their share of chances with Arjen Robben in the first half and James Rodriguez after the break but slumped to their first defeat of the season, three days after stumbling to a 1-1 draw against Augsburg.
Bayern Munich are winless in their last four games against Hertha and are the only team Bayern have not beaten in the last two Bundesliga seasons
The result lifted Hertha into second place on 13 points, level with Bayern but trailing by two on goal differential. Borussia Dortmund, third on 11 points, are in action against Bayer Leverkusen on Saturday.
