VFB Stuttgart Season 2022 Match 12


VfB Stuttgart – Augsburg

Date: 29th October 2022, 3:30 pm

Result: 2 – 1

This was a well deserved win for VfB Stuttgart, affectionately called "unsere Jungs" ("our boys"). Augsburg scored the first goal after four minutes, enough to demoralise Stuttgart, but the game was turned around with an equaliser in the 15th minute. From then on, Stuttgart had the initiative and was clearly the better team. Throughout the second half Stuttgart had chance after chance, but the ball just wouldn't go into the net. The winning goal was finally scored in the 92nd minute.

This is a good result, but it's not enough in itself. Stuttgart is still in the relegation zone, nicknamed the premiere league's cellar. The next match against Mönchengladbach on Friday has to be won to get the team out of danger.

I'm going to be on holiday all November, so I shan't be able to watch VfB Stuttgart's matches. I'll restrict myself to my mini-posts about their matches for the rest of the year. If Stuttgart has pulled itself out of the cellar by January, I'll go back to writing full match reports.
