Stuttgart took an early lead through Angelo Stiller in the 34th minute of the game. Michael Olise equalized in the 45th minute with a swift finish. Leroy Sane played a ball behind the defense to find the Frenchman, who finished expertly.
Leon Goretzka then capitalized on a mistake from Stuttgart. After nicking the ball away, the midfielder found the back of the net with his second touch from inside the penalty area.
