Brazilian Ronny thundered in a spectacular free kick nine minutes from time to rescue a 1-1 draw for Hertha Berlin and deny Hanover 96 a club record fifth straight home Bundesliga win on Friday.
Christian Schulz drilled Hanover, who are fourth in the table with 13 points from eight games, ahead in the 23rd minute after the visitors failed to clear a corner.
Hanover's Ivorian striker Didier Ya Konan was then taken to hospital after twisting his ankle on the stroke of halftime.
Hertha went on the attack after the interval and created their best chance when Anis Ben Hatira hit the post after 58 minutes.
With the visiting fans chanting his name, mercurial midfielder Ronny went on as an 80th-minute substitute.
Within a minute he unleashed an unstoppable free kick that sailed over the wall and into the top corner of the net to put fifth-placed Hertha on 12 points.
