Undav punishes goalkeeping blunder: Stuttgart beats Leipzig

Vandevoordt makes a serious mistake

The game picked up pace after the break. Nicolas Seiwald's header from an RB corner was deflected onto the post by Nübel, while Undav tried a powerful shot at the other end. Vandevoordt made a strong save in this situation, but made a serious mistake shortly afterwards. A bad pass from the goalkeeper ended up with Führich, who set up Undav - the rest was a formality for the international striker, who easily slotted the ball into the right corner.

Undav, for whom it was his 16th goal of the season, scored in his fifth Bundesliga game in a row and extended his personal record. Leipzig are Undav's favorite team anyway; he scored his first Bundesliga treble against RB just over two years ago.

Not even changes help RB

Leipzig coach Ole Werner reacted to the deficit by bringing on Gruda, who came on for Banzuzi. Xaver Schlager, Johan Bakayoko and Conrad Harder later came on. Hoeneß also brought on three fresh players after just under 70 minutes: Maximilian Mittelstädt, Nartey and Tiago Tomàs were to help bring the lead to the finish line.

Little came from Leipzig, who were generally pale in the second half, while the Swabians consistently defended the few RB attacks and earned the three points at home thanks to their great commitment. Leipzig's only good chance was missed by defender Willi Orban in stoppage time when his header landed on the post of the VfB goal.
