😬 After a disastrous start, Undav gives Stuttgart new hope & more related news here

After the relatively undisputed progress against Glasgow Celtic, the euphoria for the European Cup in Stuttgart was enormous. At the latest since EL’s triumph over SGE in 2022, it is clear that a title run is absolutely possible.

However, the euphoria in Swabia died down from the beginning. After a dirty clearance by Nübel, FC Porto spent three stations reaching the goal, where Moffi beat the VfB goalkeeper and reached the near corner.

Just over five minutes later, the next preparation error occurred. Chabot’s pass at the midfield line did not reach Nartey: Sanusi intervened immediately. The Nigerian’s subsequent cross was also scored by Mora, unfortunately for the Stuttgart team.

However, the Swabians are not yet ready to give up. In the 40th minute, Deniz Undav scored the connecting goal for VfB.

In the second half the Suebi could even tie, but Stiller’s goal did not count due to an offside position by Tiago Tomas.

Now it’s your turn: Will VfB return or is it over? Don’t hesitate to share your opinion in the comments!
