After their stunning 6-1 win at home to Eintracht Frankfurt on the opening weekend of the season, Hertha had been on course to stay top with three more points until Kiyotake crashed home his stunning 89th-minute free-kick.

Berlin drew level when Tunisia striker Sami Allagui's shot deflected off the chest of Nuremberg centre-back Berkay Dabanli on 61 minutes.
