Overview
- Jeff Chabot’s own goal (45'), Yan Diomande (53') and Romulo (90+1') scored for Leipzig, with Tiago Tomás (65') replying for Stuttgart.
- Diomande forced the opener with a driven cross and then finished coolly for 2–0, underscoring his decisive impact on the right flank.
- A late dribbling error by goalkeeper Alexander Nübel gifted Romulo the clincher after Nübel had earlier denied a point-blank header on 81 minutes.
- Leipzig moves to 22 points from nine matches for a new club-best Bundesliga start and extends an eight-game unbeaten run since the 0–6 opening loss at Bayern.
- Stuttgart’s five-match league winning streak ends as they remain on 18 points and drop behind Dortmund in the table.
