The Stuttgart fans have two reasons to celebrate on Friday.
After coach Sebastian Hoeneß’s contract extension was made official in the morning, the Swabians won the home game of the 25th round of the Bundesliga against 1. FC Union Berlin 2-0 in the evening.
The Stuttgart team found their way into the game better after initial difficulties, but almost fell behind after 17 minutes. Nübel misses a shot, Union has a good chance to finish. The VfB keeper made up for his mistake with a strong save.
Shortly afterwards, the people of Stuttgart can celebrate. Guirassy goes deep and makes it 1-0 with a powerful shot into the far corner (19th).
As a result, VfB takes control of the game and Union tries to become dangerous on the counterattack. In stoppage time in the first half, Vagnoman has a great chance to make it 2-0, but Rönnow makes a strong save (45th+2).
Union loses when outnumbered
After the restart, Tousart (48th) and Volland (49th) had chances to equalize for the Berliners, but Stuttgart scored the next goal. Führich moves quickly from the edge of the penalty area into the center and shoots the ball into the goal to make it 2-0 (65th).
A little later, Union has to cope with the next setback. Schäfer hits Vagnoman with his outstretched leg at knee height and is sent off by referee Schröder with a red card (69′).
Nothing much happens after that, VfB doesn’t give up the 2-0 lead and leaves the field as winners.
With the home win, the Swabians secured third place and can now prepare for international games in the coming season. Union is in 14th place after the defeat. The Berliners are eight points ahead of the relegation place.
