Coach Julian Nagelsmann’s team had led for a long time, the equalizer resulted from a late VAR decision shortly before the end. Nevertheless, it was enough for the time being for the lead, but SC Freiburg (12) and Union Berlin (11) can pass again.

The goals were scored by Mathys Tel (36′) and Jamal Musiala (60′) for Bayern and Chris Führich (57′) and Serhou Guirassy (90’+2′) for VfB.
Tel is now FC Bayern’s youngest Bundesliga starting XI and goalscorer.

Bayern Munich vs VfB Stuttgart: The Analysis

Before the reunion with Robert Lewandowski in the Champions League against FC Barcelona on Tuesday, Nagelsmann started the rotation machine and made six changes compared to the 2-0 win at Inter Milan. In addition to Tel, Noussair Mazraoui also made his debut in the Bundesliga, and Leon Goretzka also made his debut this season. Serge Gnabry, Dayot Upamecano and Jamal Musiala also started. Among other things, Sadio Mané and Inter-match winner Leroy Sané got a break.

The guests from Stuttgart were deep in a 3-5-2, the double striker even positioned themselves in their own half without the ball and, together with the conspicuous Silas, scored a few pinpricks. Bayern tried to outplay the densely staggered midfield at the beginning with long balls behind the defensive line. There was a complete lack of surprises. It is significant that the only shot on goal for a long time resulted from a set piece (18th). The constant castling of the attacking quartet, in which only Tel kept his position strictly (right winger), did not pose any problems for the VfB defensive.

It only got really dangerous for the first time after 30 minutes. However, Tel and Gnabry’s huge double chance was more of a coincidence. Nevertheless, the record champions then became more compelling and took the lead (36th).

After the change of sides, VfB dared a little more, which is why the game became more open. Substitute Führich (57′) brought the equalizer, which was slightly imminent, before Musiala restored the old order after a little dance (60′). Bayern, however, missed the best counterattack chances and thus missed an early decision. Shortly before the end, Guirassy converted a penalty after a VAR decision (90th).

Müller the worst – a big ray of hope! The Bayern notes to the next blunder

1/17

2/17

MANUEL NEUER: He parried the one quite dangerous ball from Stuttgart that he had to parry. Didn’t always seem very happy with the people in front of him, which he told them a few times. Powerless at the penalty. Grade: 3.5.

3/17

NOUSSAIR MAZRAOUI: Bit into the game. While he was still standing on Mathys Tel at the beginning and running around rather wildly in the area, he gradually became more daring. Submission to 2:1. Grade: 3.5.

4/17

DAYOT UPAMECANO: This time attentive and flawless throughout his season. Significantly more on the ball than de Ligt. Grade: 2.5.

5/17

MATTHIJS DE LIGT: In itself, a sovereign and inconspicuous performance by the defense chief. But he couldn’t really shine. Culpated the penalty just before the end when he stepped on Guirassy’s foot. grade: 4

6/17

ALPHONSO DAVIES: He kept dribbling and kept getting tangled up. Defensively quite attentive, but owed the 1:1 forward not only with the dribbling very hard. The submission to 1:0 upgrades the grade. grade: 4

7/17

JOSHUA KIMMICH: Far from his gala form in the Champions League on Wednesday. Can be increased in a tackle rate, lost a little too many balls and was lucky that Silas’ goal was decided in favor of a foul. grade: 4

8/17

LEON GORETZKA: Very committed to making his comeback from the start after an injury break, wanted to make his mark on the game. But he was only able to do this to a very limited extent. Not much more on the ball in the first hour than, for example, Mathy’s Tel. Grade: 4.

9/17

MATHYS TEL: Almost stuck a bit too much on the right wing at the beginning to prevent Borna Sosa’s excursions. Significantly more often on the ball than the other offensives. Scored 1-0 and became Bayern’s youngest Bundesliga goalscorer. Grade: 2

10/17

THOMAS MÜLLER: He’s used to traveling a lot, very useful pressing moments, but the role at the front only suits him to a limited extent. No shot on goal, although statistically it was usually the closest to the Stuttgart goal. Grade: 4.5

11/17

JAMAL MUSIALA: Had a lot of turnovers. Then again he tried to get into three Stuttgart and outplay them, which seemed slightly arrogant. Lost the ball before 1-1. But then just made this beautiful goal to 2:1. grade: 4

12/17

SERGE GNABRY: As rarely on the ball as Thomas Müller. Four shots on goal, but only one was really compelling – and he missed it. Grade: 4.5.

13/17

JOSIP STANISIC: Came for Mazraoui. Was in the game immediately, demanded the ball and often got it. Grade: 3.5.

14/17

LEROY SANE: Came in for record goalscorer Tel, struggled to put the score at 3-1. Grade: 3.5.

15/17

ERIC MAXIM CHOUPO-MOTING: Came in for Thomas Müller in the 68th minute and scored one more shot on goal than his predecessor. Grade: 3.5.

16/17

RYAN GRAVENBERCH: Came in for Gnabry in the closing stages. Without rating.

17/17

SADIO MANE: Came in for Musiala in the last few minutes. Without rating.

FC Bayern Munich against VfB Stuttgart: the voices

Julian Nagelsmann (Bayern Munich coach): “We deservedly led and have to score the second goal. In the second half we have three huge chances, where you definitely have to score the third goal, then the game is over. Then the opponent thinks there’s still something to do – and it was still possible what. There was a legitimate penalty and we only played 2-2.”

Pellegrino Matarazzo (VfB Stuttgart coach): “The point is okay, I’m satisfied. We were called back two goals – one was not a foul, the other was certainly questionable. We lost possession in the first half, which hurt and had to suffer a bit. In the Second, it was a more open game and we had to survive one or two counterattacks.”

FC Bayern Munich vs VfB Stuttgart: The data of the game

Gates: 1-0 Tel (36′), 1-1 Führich (57′), 2-1 Musiala (60′), 2-2 Guirassy (90+2′)

The star of the game: Mathys Tel (FC Bayern)

Almost stuck a bit too much on the right wing at the beginning to stop Borna Sosa’s excursions. Much more often on the ball than the other Bayern offensives, he shot Müller in the 30th minute. Did better in the 39th and scored to make it 1-0. Good starting XI debut.

The flop of the match: Tiago Tomas (VfB Stuttgart)

The striker, who caused a sensation last season, was completely up in the air. He had only eleven ball actions in the first half. There were also four ball losses. He stayed in the dressing room for Führich, who in turn had direct influence. Also weak: Konstantinos Mavropanos – despite winning the ball before the 1-1.

The referee: Christian Dingert

The referee had a quiet afternoon until the turbulent second half. Both teams hardly fought hard duels. There were three scenes that caused a lot of discussion. He was right with the latter two, when he first blew the whistle for Ahamada’s action against Kimmich (79th) and decided on a foul by Matthijs de Ligt in injury time. This had stood on the foot of Guirassy. It was different in the 51st minute when Führich allegedly fouled Kimmich. Dingert had previously decided on goal, but the VAR saw it differently.
