On the eighth day of the Bundesliga, Stuttgart snatched a valuable victory against Mainz (2-1) at the Stuttgart Arena. Despite Bayern Munich's considerable lead in the standings after their 3-0 victory against M'Gladbach, the locals desperately needed points to move closer to the top of the table. Mainz opened the scoring in the 41st minute thanks to Amiri's penalty, but Chris FĂĽhrich quickly equalized in the 49th minute, reigniting the suspense before the break.
The outcome came at the very end of the match: Undav gave his team three points in the 87th minute, taking advantage of a surprising assist from goalkeeper Alexander NĂĽbel. With this success, Stuttgart climbs to third place in the Bundesliga with 18 points, while Mainz remains struggling in 16th position with only 4 points.
