WEITERE DATEN EINBLENDEN
The decisive moment came just before half-time as Bremen quickly took a free-kick, which allowed Max Kruse to score the only goal of the game. Stuttgart pressed hard for an equaliser in the second period but couldn’t find a way through, just lacking the finishing touch. The defeat means VfB remain without a win on the road this season.
Team news
Hannes Wolf stuck with the same eleven that drew in Hannover a week earlier. Fit-again trio Anastasios Donis, Chadrac Akolo and Marcin Kaminski earned places on the bench.
| 29th minute | "Takuma Asano wins the ball following a misplaced pass from Bremen goalkeeper Jiri Pavlenka, but Maximilian Eggestein's last-ditch challenge ensures the Japanese forward's effort rolls wide." |
| 45th minute | The opening 45 minutes are evenly contested in the most part, with both defences standing strong. However, on the stroke of half-time Fin Bartels quickly takes a Bremen free-kick, allowing Max Kruse to finish and put the hosts 1-0 in front. A setback for Stuttgart, who had otherwise barely been threatened. |
| 52nd minute | A scare for Stuttgart as Bartels puts the ball in the net again for Bremen, but the Video Assistant Referee chalks the goal off for offside. 1-0 it remains. |
| 64th minute | Great chance for VfB to make it 1-1 as Berkay Özcan wins the ball and plays in Josip Brekalo, but the Croatian’s effort is cleared following some desperate Bremen defending. |
| 88th minute | Close! Holger Badstuber climbs in the opposing penalty area but his header narrowly clears the crossbar. Stuttgart are throwing the everything at their opponents! |
| 90th minute +4 | In added time even goalkeeper Ron-Robert Zieler heads forward in search of a late leveller, but the visitors are unable to find a goal and the final score is 1-0 to Bremen. |
Hannes Wolf:
Of course we’re disappointed with the result. We played well in the first half, controlled the game and had a great chance with Takuma Asano.
Summary
VfB remain without a victory away from home this season, narrowly losing out in a hard-fought encounter in which chances were at a premium. After going behind against the run of play, the visitors created several decent opportunities in the second half but ultimately lacked the precision to find an equaliser – not for want of trying.
