VfB Stuttgart continued their impressive Bundesliga campaign. They scored four goals against a hapless VfL Wolfsburg side on Sunday afternoon. The result further cemented Stuttgart’s push for European qualification. Wolfsburg, meanwhile, remains in the relegation zone.
Stuttgart came into the game in fourth place, in good form with three wins in their last five league outings. Wolfsburg’s situation was dire, sitting in 17th place after a run of four defeats in five games. This set the stage for a clash of contrasting fortunes.
The home side quickly took control of possession and created early chances. Wolfsburg’s struggles increased when D. Bauer received a yellow card in the 19th minute. Just two minutes later, Deniz Undav broke the deadlock. He scored a goal in the 21st minute after a precise pass from Ermedin Demirovic.
Stuttgart doubled their lead in the 30th minute. Jamie Leweling found the net, assisted by Chris Fuhrich. Leweling then completed his brace just before the break. He extended Stuttgart’s lead to 3-0 in the 42nd minute with another well-worked finish.
The Wolfsburg manager faced a big task at the break. His team needed a dramatic change in performance. Stuttgart, by contrast, looked comfortable and lethal.
Wolfsburg made three changes at the restart, hoping to spark a comeback. Substitutes L. Majer, M. Amoura and A. Daghim entered the fray in the 46th minute. Despite these changes, Stuttgart kept their composure. They managed the game effectively.
Stuttgart introduced L. Jaquez and N. Nartey later in the half. Bilal El Khannouss was booked for Stuttgart in the 88th minute. The home side then sealed their comprehensive victory. Nikolas Nartey scored in the 90th+5th minute to make it 4-0.
Stuttgart’s dominance shows in the statistics. They recorded an impressive 2.98 expected goals (xG). They also had 23 shots in total, with 10 on target. Wolfsburg managed just 0.8 xG from 10 shots, only three of which tested Alexander Nübel. VfB Stuttgart had 63% of the ball.
