😬 After a disastrous start, Undav gives Stuttgart fresh hope | OneFootball

After the relatively unchallenged progression against Celtic Glasgow, the European Cup euphoria in Stuttgart was high. At the latest since the EL triumph of SGE in 2022, it is clear that a run to the title is absolutely possible. 

However, the euphoria in Swabia was dampened early on. After an unclean clearance by Nübel, FC Porto played through three stations to the goal, where Moffi scored past the VfB keeper into the near corner.

Just over five minutes later, the next mistake in the build-up. Chabot's pass at the level of the midfield line did not reach Nartey - Sanusi immediately intervened. The subsequent cross from the Nigerian was also put into the net by Mora, to the misfortune of the Stuttgart team. 

However, the Swabians are not ready to give up yet. In the 40th minute, Deniz Undav scored the connecting goal for VfB. 

In the second half, the Swabians could have even equalized, but Stiller's goal didn't count due to an offside position by Tiago Tomas. 

Now it's your turn: Will VfB come back here or is it over? Feel free to share your opinion in the comments!
