Match Events
- 0' It’s Showtime! The match between VfB Stuttgart and SV Werder Bremen is underway.
- 5' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 10' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Cameron Puertas suffering a number of foals already.
- 15' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Nikolas Nartey made 405 appearances and scored 1 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 18' Goal! Jens Stage scores his 22 goal in 105 matches.
- 23' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 28' VfB Stuttgart currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
- 33' Mio Backhaus has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.

- 46' VfB Stuttgart manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Ramon Hendriks is hanging Dan-Axel Zagadou on the field on 46 minute.
- 51' It’s high time Sebastian Hoeneß made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 56' Japan international Yukinari Sugawara has been a key figure this campaign — 0 goals and 0 assists in the Array this season.
- 57' The VfB Stuttgart bench stirs into life. Lorenz Assignon is withdrawn and Chris Fuhrich gets his opportunity.
- 61' The Bosnia-Herzegovina Ermedin Demirovic breaks the deadlock on 61 minutes. 1-1!
- 65' The supporters are chanting for Maximilian Wober. He replaces Niklas Stark on 65 minute.
- 70' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
- 75' With 2 assists to his name this season, Maximilian Mittelstadt is clearly more than just a goal scorer for SV Werder Bremen.
- 78' Mio Backhaus has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 78.
- 78' Jamie Leweling makes way for Badredine Bouanani at the 78 minute mark. A tactical switch from VfB Stuttgart.
