The German record champions eventually restored parity as the video referee intervened due to a foul play inside the box from Grujic to Lewandowski.

Bayern's top striker Lewandowski stepped up and made no mistake from the spot to beat Jarstein into the bottom right corner at the hour mark.

Niko Kovac's men remained on the front foot and pressed for the winner but Hertha Berlin kept all their men behind the ball and stood firm until the final whistle.

"We have to be happy. A 2-2 draw is a great result against Bayern. We played a powerful first half but lacked in penetration in the second half," Hertha Berlin coach Ante Covic said.

"We wasted too many chances, especially in the first half. Berlin had two chances but scored twice and that is how we shared the spoils today," Bayern Munich's sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic said.

The following fixtures are scheduled for Saturday: Werder Bremen host Fortuna Dusseldorf, Freiburg face Mainz, Bayer Leverkusen see newly promoted Paderborn, Borussia Dortmund encounter Augsburg, Wolfsburg clash with Cologne and Borussia Monchengladbach meet Schalke.
