BERLIN (Reuters) - Sebastian Rudy nodded in a 79th-minute equaliser on Sunday as Hoffenheim rescued a 1-1 draw at Schalke 04, a result that serves neither team in their quest for a European spot. Instead of scoring again, they allowed the visitors to come back when Germany international Rudy was left with too much space at the far post to head in a cross. The draw meant Hoffenheim missed the chance to join third-placed Borussia Dortmund, remaining two points behind in fourth place on 38. Leaders Bayern Munich are five points clear following their 8-0 demolition of Hamburg SV on Saturday with Robert Lewandowski scoring a hat-trick. RB Leipzig are in second on 48 following their 3-1 win over Cologne.
