VfB Stuttgart is on the up, most recently winning with an uncontrolled win against BVB. Now the Swabian Union received Berlin. However, despite a good performance, it was not enough to win.
Last weekend in the Bundesliga, VfB Stuttgart caused a big surprise by beating Dortmund’s top team 5-1. On Tuesday Union Berlin visited the Suevi and VfB drew a 2-0 disadvantage shortly before the end in an exciting game.
Also, Hertha BSC, the other club from the capital, faced Mainz 05. Both games at a glance.
VfB Stuttgart vs Union Berlin 2: 2 (0: 1)
For VfB, things did not go well from the beginning. Less than five minutes were played when Marvin Friedrich scored for El Hierro to make it 1-0 (4th). After that, the people of Stuttgart visibly tried to keep things tidy, but the guests continued to dominate.
Even shortly before the break, Stuttgart found no solutions, radiating very little danger of goal. That was also shown by the Unioners, who in return almost scored the next goal. However, Berlin winger Sheraldo Becker fired over the area from 15 meters.
Stuttgart woke up shortly after the break. Nicolás González hit the crossbar and barely hit the net (47th). During the second half, VfB showed more and more danger of scoring. But the goal was not made by Stuttgart, but by Union to make it 2-0 (77th) through Taiwo Awoniyi. For him it was the fourth goal of the Bundesliga.
Shortly before the end, VfB scored the 1: 2 (85th) through Sasa Kalajdzic. Soon after, Kalajdzic made the tie at 2-2 (90th) and turned the game around shortly before the end.
Hertha BSC against Mainz 05 0: 0 (0: 0)
The duel between the capital club and the seventeenth table was largely at eye level. However, Hertha failed to score a goal at home. The clubs shared the points after the final whistle.
Significant: For the first time in a Bundesliga match since November 2015, no team scored a single shot on goal. Although the Berliners were unbeaten in the fourth consecutive game at the Olympic Stadium, they missed the first victory goal announced by Labbadia before the short holiday break due to poor performance.
“We played a good game and lost two points,” Berlin’s Krzysztof Piatek told Sky. Niklas Stark added: “Mainz defended him well, you have to admit it.”
