BERLIN (AP) Wolfsburg twice came from behind to draw 2-2 at Bayer Leverkusen on Sunday, a result that helps neither team after disappointing starts to the Bundesliga.

The goal sparked a reaction from the visitors and Divock Origi duly equalized before the break.

But Leverkusen was to rue missing other chances when Jakub Blaszczykowski grabbed another equalizer for Wolfsburg.

It was Wolfsburg's fourth straight draw since Martin Schmidt took over as coach.

Both sides remained in the bottom half of the table.
