Title now beckons
LIVE from 20:30: VfB Stuttgart vs. FC Bayern
FC Bayern Munich won 3-1 at VfB Stuttgart on Friday at the start of the 24th matchday in Germany's Bundesliga despite falling behind.
Bayern Munich have taken the next step towards their return to the German soccer throne. The serial champions, who were dethroned last year, came from behind to win 3:1 (1:1) at VfB Stuttgart on Friday evening and temporarily extended their lead over first-placed Bayer Leverkusen to eleven points. The defending champions are not in action until Saturday evening (6.30 p.m.), when they play third-placed Eintracht Frankfurt.
Stuttgart took the lead through a long-range shot from Angelo Stiller (34'). Leroy Sane had previously slipped and lost the ball. Bayern's attacker redeemed himself by setting up Michael Olise shortly before the break, who equalized (45'). Munich stepped up a gear after the break and took advantage of Stuttgart's mistakes to win the game.
First, VfB goalkeeper Alexander Nübel put Stiller in trouble when playing out. The goalscorer lost the ball in his own penalty area to Leon Goretzka, who shot in (64'). Kingsley Coman intercepted a misplaced back pass from Josha Vagnoman in the final stages and scored the final goal (90'). ÖFB team player Konrad Laimer played at right-back for Bayern until the 75th minute.
Stuttgart conceded their third Bundesliga home defeat in a row. The runners-up have picked up just four points from the last six rounds and remain seventh in the table. Bayern, on the other hand, have won nine of their last ten league games. The only match between the two title rivals this season, with ten rounds remaining, was a hard-fought 0-0 draw in Leverkusen - but they will meet in the last 16 of the Champions League. The first leg between Bayern and Bayer will take place in Munich on Wednesday.
