Ekitiké woe
Eintracht have huffed and puffed in this half but Ekitiké sums up the visitors' efforts since the break by fluffing his lines when played in by Collins. Frankfurt are just not good enough today but they'll look to improve with European competition still very much on the cards.

Bredlow alert
Max's left-footed stinger has Bredlow scrambling to palm out. Solid save from the Stuttgart custodian.
78'
Applause for Undav
Deniz Undav heads off to huge applause. The striker has scored and provided an assist today and now sits on 16 Bundesliga goals for the campaign. Jeong and Dahoud are on for the hosts.

Stiller booked
Stuttgart are playing with fire as they try to play out from the back. Hasebe nips in and is upended by Stiller, who is booked. Marmoush batters the susequent free kick at goal but Bredlow is there to parry away.
72'
Top marks Buta
Buta whips a dangerous ball into the centre which Ekitiké just can't reach, despite stretching for it.
69'
Undav had a go
Guirassy squares for Undav, who pulls a shot wide of the far post from the penalty spot. In a half of few chances, that was VfB's best this 45'.

Easy for Trapp
A quick set-piece from Stuttgart lands at the feet of Leweling, who cuts inside his man and drills low into Trapp's hands.
53'
Almost Eintracht
Fares Chaibi gets to the end line and cuts back for Ekitiké, who is crowded out a yard from goal. That probably should have been 3-1.
51'
Hasebe booked
Hasebe lands studs up on Stiller, who goes down in a heap. Yellow card for the Japanese player.

Anton the wall
Waldemar Anton makes a big block to deny Ekitiké as Eintracht look to bite back at their hosts.

Man down
Jean-Matteo Bahoya has a problem and needs to come to the sideline for some treatment. The 18-year-old looks in some discomfort, but signals to the bench that he should be ok to go on.
38'
VfB cruising
Leweling races onto Undav's through ball, approaches Trapp and plays the ball under the Eintracht keeper. This is all a little too easy for the home side, not that their fans care.

Physio time
Mittelstädt blasts one over, meaning Koch and Knauff can receive treatment after the pair collided with each other.
29'
Bredlow takes one
Marmoush thwacks a shot at the target which goes through Bredlow's gloves and smacks the keeper right in the grill. Nübel's stand-in will need a little treatment but should be fine to continue.

20'
Ito well placed
Ito makes a last-ditch tackle on Marmoush and VfB keep hold of their 2-0 lead.
18'
Stuttgart in heaven
Eintracht give the ball up way too easily and Undav is away. The Germany international twists and turns in front of Pacho before pinging a shot into the corner of the net.
14'
Guirassy the Great
Guirassy's goal stands! It's been a long VAR check but the roars that greet the final decision match Guirassy's celebrations. That's 25 for this Bundesliga campaign for the forward, more than any other player has ever managed in a single season for Stuttgart.

Guirassy denied
Stuttgart's striker finishes high into the net having been played through, but his effort has been flagged for offside. But wait! We'll have a VAR check on this.
