13' VfL Wolfsburg is taking the lead after the goal scored by Xaver Schlager on 13.
18' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering VfL Wolfsburg that had 475 games and scored 488 goals.

28' VfB Stuttgart is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
29' GOAL! Wout Weghorst fires home to make it 0-2!
34' VfB Stuttgart are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
39' A quiet spell here at Mercedes-Benz Arena. VfL Wolfsburg seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
44' VfL Wolfsburg is showing some good football. However, VfL Wolfsburg are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
49' Yannick Gerhardt has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 25 cards already picked up this season.
54' VfB Stuttgart are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined VfL Wolfsburg backline.
59' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Gregor Kobel made 409 appearances and scored 1 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
63' Poor challenge from Naouirou Ahamada. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
64' A tactical swap from VfB Stuttgart — Darko Churlinov on, Mateo Klimowicz off on 64 minutes.
65' Against the run of play, Yannick Gerhardt has scored! This game has turned on its head.
66' Time for substitution for VfL Wolfsburg. Maximilian Philipp is replaced by Admir Mehmedi.
70' Philipp Forster makes way for Daniel Didavi at the 70 minute mark. A tactical switch from VfB Stuttgart.
71' Gonzalo Castro gets the nod from VfB Stuttgart. He replaces Naouirou Ahamada and will look to change the dynamic.

77' Gonzalo Castro was booked on 77.
80' Alkhaly Momo Cisse is replacing Sasa Kalajdzic for the VfB Stuttgart side.
85' 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 Tanguy Coulibaly suffering a number of foals already.
86' Controversy at the stadium! Alkhaly Momo Cisse argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
88' VfL Wolfsburg make a change. Wout Weghorst trudges off to be replaced by Bartosz Bialek on 88 minutes.
Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 1-3 draw is a fair result on the day.
