Overview
- VfB Stuttgart beat FC Augsburg 3:2, with Deniz Undav scoring in the 39th and 80th minutes after Maximilian Mittelstädt’s VAR-awarded penalty had first leveled the game.
- Augsburg led twice through Fabian Rieder and Han-Noah Massengo, but Undav’s late winner secured Stuttgart a fifth home league victory and moved them up to fourth, one point behind RB Leipzig.
- The penalty followed a review of Keven Schlotterbeck’s contact on Dan-Axel Zagadou, a decision Schlotterbeck publicly disputed as Augsburg rued a missed chance by Samuel Essende at 2:2.
- Defeat was Augsburg’s fourth in a row, leaving them on seven points near the bottom, while Stuttgart head into the international break with momentum despite visible fatigue.
- In 3. Liga, Alemannia Aachen won 3:1 at VfB Stuttgart II in Mersad Selimbegovic’s first game, as Lars Gindorf converted a penalty and added a stoppage-time strike for a brace to seal a third straight victory.
