Gladbach Rally to Beat Stuttgart 3-2 to End Winless Run

Gladbach's victory relieves early pressure on the club ahead of midweek cup ties.

Overview

  • Gladbach came from behind to beat VfB Stuttgart 3-2 on Friday, earning their first Bundesliga points after six straight league defeats.
  • Seventeen-year-old Wael Mohya was pivotal, creating Shuto Machino’s 51st-minute winner and scoring the third in the 66th minute, with Joe Scally equalizing before half-time.
  • Stuttgart opened through Ermedin Demirović in the 5th minute and pulled a late goal back in the 83rd, but the home side conceded control after failing to convert early chances.
  • Stuttgart officials voiced alarm after the loss, with board member Fabian Wohlgemuth calling for hard questions and coach Sebastian Hoeneß blaming complacency and mental lapses as fans showed visible frustration.
  • Both teams face immediate tests that will quickly judge the result’s impact, with Gladbach traveling to Karlsruher in the DFB-Pokal and Stuttgart meeting Paderborn in the cup before a league trip to Bayer Leverkusen.
