Full-time: Holstein Kiel 2-2 VfB Stuttgart

Both teams have to settle for a point after an intense encounter! Stuttgart took the lead through Jamie Leweling's lethal strike, but Steven Skrzybski scored a deserved equaliser around the half-hour mark. The Kiel man put his team in front within 30 seconds of the restart, but despite Leonidas Stergiou's red card, Ermedin Demirović was able to secure a share of the spoils for his team.

Big chance!

Kiel get the ball into the box with three players unmarked. However, it evades them all and goes out for a corner and, from the set-piece, Bernhardsson volleys just wide of the post.

It's all happening in Kiel as Stuttgart level again! Substitute Demirović is the goalscorer, finishing low into the corner from close range. Stuttgart, perhaps unexpectedly, are right back in this one!

Brilliant save!

From the resulting free-kick, Nübel keeps out Machino's curling free-kick to keep Stuttgart within touching distance.

From bad to worse

Stuttgart's task just got a whole lot harder as Stergiou is given his marching orders after pulling down Skrzybski as he bore down on goal.

Kiel in front!

The home side are in front courtesy of a frankly ridiculous goal from Skrzybski, who shots from all of 40 yards out and lobs Nübel to do so. What a start to the second half!

Half-time: Holstein Kiel 1-1 VfB Stuttgart

We are level at the interval! Kiel were the more dangerous of the two teams throughout most of the first half, but it was Stuttgart who broke the deadlock courtesy of Jamie Leweling's bullet. However, Kiel got the goal they deserved via Steven Skrzybski's clinical finish. This match is evenly poised!

Kiel back level

The hosts did not deserve to be behind, and they no longer are. Skrzybski is the goalscorer, burying into the corner with a clinical effort, meaning he has now scored with his last five shots - talk about efficiency!

One shot, one goal for Stuttgart! The Swabians have barely threatened, but their maiden effort is a brilliant hit from Leweling, who hammers across Weiner from a tight angle. Lift off for the visitors!
