Dopo la partenza di Woltemade, i tifosi della VfB si applaudono per Gladbach.
In un match equilibrato, il VfB Stuttgart ha trionfato contro il Borussia Mönchengladbach, aggiudicandosi una vittoria per 1-0 nella partita d'apertura della stagione 2025/2026 della Bundesliga.
La partita è iniziata con il Stuttgart che ha mostrato un inizio impressionante, alimentato da una coreografia appassionata dei suoi tifosi. Tuttavia, è stato il Borussia Mönchengladbach ad avere la prima occasione degna di nota, quando Kevin Stöger ha sprecato una grande occasione per mettere la sua squadra in vantaggio al 51º minuto.
Despite the missed chance, Stuttgart continued to press, and their efforts were rewarded in the 79th minute. A set piece led to Chema Andrés scoring the winning goal with a powerful header.
Stuttgart's offensive play was somewhat affected by the departure of Nick Woltemade, with moments of lacklustre performance noticeable throughout the game. Tiago Tomás had the best chance of the first half for Stuttgart, but his effort was denied by a resilient Borussia Mönchengladbach defence.
In the other end, Borussia Mönchengladbach lacked the necessary finishing power to find the back of the net, despite creating several opportunities. Filip Sander came closest, but his header from a free kick was expertly saved by Alexander Nübel in the 25th minute.
Lukas Ullrich also had a good chance in the first half, capitalising on a poor pass from Nübel, but his effort was ultimately thwarted.
The injury bug also bit Stuttgart early, as Deniz Undav had to be substituted due to a knee injury in the first half.
VfB Stuttgart's CEO, Alexander Wehrle, remained calm about finding solutions for the departed players, expressing confidence that the club will present good solutions by the end of the transfer period. Wehrle's sentiments were echoed by Sami Khedira, a former VfB midfielder, who agreed with the club's decision to sell Woltemade for a record fee to Newcastle United in England.
Despite the loss, Borussia Mönchengladbach's coach, Hoeneß, believes the club needs reinforcements before the transfer deadline on Monday evening to achieve their goals. Jamie Leweling, a VfB player, had earlier expressed his satisfaction with the Woltemade transfer situation, stating that it was good for both sides.
In the aftermath of the game, Stuttgart's offensive prowess was personified by Jamie Leweling, who proved to be the most dangerous player for the home team in the second half.
With this victory, VfB Stuttgart have started their season on a positive note, having signed Badredine Bouanani from OGC Nice and acquiring Bilal El Khannouss on loan from Leicester City during the transfer window. The club also set a record transfer fee of up to 30 million euros for Enzo Millot's transfer to Al-Ahli in Saudi Arabia.
As the transfer deadline approaches, fans and pundits alike will be eagerly awaiting to see how VfB Stuttgart strengthen their squad further, with the club's CEO, Alexander Wehrle, promising good solutions by the end of the transfer period.
