Fabio Silva's 89th-minute goal earned Borussia Dortmund a 2-2 draw at Bayern Munich after Harry Kane missed a penalty in a see-saw Bundesliga clash on Saturday.
Bayern were 1-0 up when Kane, playing his first match since winning the Ballon d'Or on Monday, rattled his second-half spot kick against the crossbar.
Dortmund's Serhou Guirassy levelled shortly after, but Kane helped Bayern retake the lead when he set up a Dayot Upamecano goal.
In the final minute, substitutes Konstantinos Karetsas and Silva combined to grab Dortmund a share of the spoils.
"Coming back twice here in Munich is no easy feat. We earned a well-deserved point here today," Dortmund coach Niko Kovac told Sky Germany, adding his side "never stopped believing in ourselves."
The result leaves the two sides level atop the Bundesliga table, with defending champions Bayern ahead on goal difference.
It is just the fourth time in the past 18 'Klassiker' matches that Bayern have not emerged victorious.
In addition to the late draw, Bayern, who are without Vincent Kompany as he recovers from a virus, will be concerned by further injuries to their undermanned forward line ahead of Tuesday's trip to Atletico Madrid.
Ismael Saibari, Serge Gnabry and Michael Olise were all subbed out on Saturday, with Jamal Musiala and Luis Diaz already out with injury.
Bayern sporting director Max Eberl said the draw appeared "costly", with Saibari and Gnabry's injuries "somewhat serious".
Bayern captain Joshua Kimmich, who returned after missing three matches after the sudden death of his father, said: "It's been a really, really hard week, but you can forget during the game.
"Other than the result today, you have to say we're going through difficult moments right now, now with the injuries we picked up."
Kane was honoured pre-match with his Ballon d'Or shown to the Bayern faithful for the first time.
Dortmund thought they had taken the lead with 35 minutes gone as Jobe Bellingham scored from close range, but VAR overturned the goal for offside.
Bayern made Dortmund pay immediately when Konrad Laimer pounced on a poor Felix Nmecha pass and charged upfield to score.
Bayern were better after the break and a Nmecha handball brought Kane to the spot, but the England captain rifled his shot against the crossbar.
Moments later, Dortmund captain Nico Schlotterbeck intercepted a Kane pass, thundered up the pitch and found Carney Chukwuemeka, who laid off for Guirassy to score at the near post.
Kane looked to have redeemed himself when he set up a goal for Upamecano, but Silva levelled in the dying stages.
