2-2 Kalajdzic (90 )
Stuttgart had beaten Borussia Dortmund at the weekend, while Union impressed in a 1-1 draw with Bayern Munich, so both sides were full of confidence coming into this one. It was the visitors who settled first, though, with Marvin Friedrich heading Union in front in the fourth minute from a Christopher Trimmel free-kick. The hosts refused to be thrown off course though, reacting well and going close to equalising from Mateo Klimowicz’s fierce drive from the edge of the box, before Konstantinos Mavropanos headed straight at Andreas Luthe from a corner. Union were the better side overall in the first 45 minutes, however, and could have taken a more comfortable lead into the break, but both Sheraldo Becker and Cedric Teuchert fired over from presentable chances.
