Full time: Paderborn 0-2 Stuttgart

VfB take all three points and deservedly so. Aside from a brief period in the second half, they dominated the match and ultimately their quality told in the final third. Paderborn can take heart from a committed performance but a lack of a cutting edge up front cost them; the chances were there but the corresponding final touch was not.

What a goal!

Stiller, on the edge of the box, plays the ball out to his left to Stiller. He jinks past his marker and smacks an unstoppable drive in off the underside of the crossbar!

Almost 2-0!

Pejčinović receives the ball wide on the Stuttgart right and his first touch is brilliant, allowing him to turn and spin into space before sprinting towards goal. He unleashes a powerful drive that fizzes just over the bar.

Leweling the answer?

The Germany international's pace and direct running caused Paderborn plenty of problems in the first half. VfB need to get him into the game more in this second period.

Noll to the rescue!

Paderborn get themselves into trouble deep inside their own half with a misplaced pass. All of a sudden Demirović is one-on-one with Noll, who makes a brilliant save to keep his team in the game!

Paderborn gowing

The home crowd can sense that their side are on top and are loudly urging them on. Chances are coming thick and fast for Paderborn right now.

Pieringer must score!

Curda's right-wing cross finds Pieringer inside the six-yard box at the back post. He leaps high to meet it... but heads wide!

Seimen alert

A beautiful, threaded pass from Hansen splits the VfB defence and sends Pieringer chasing it. He'll be one-on-one if he can get there, but Seimen spots the danger and dashes out of his box to clear.

53'

Ulrich blazes over

A decent spell of pressure from the hosts culminates in a corner, with the ball falling for the unmarked Ullrich at the back post. He goes for power rather than precision and smashes his shot well over the bar.

48'

Führich goes close!

The VfB No.10 wriggles his way into the Paderborn box, twisting and turning before getting a shot off. It's going on target but is blocked by the heel of Scheller.

Under way again!

This one's not done yet. It's the kind of game where you feel the next goal will be decisive.

Kick-off!

Half-time: Paderborn 0-1 Stuttgart

The visitors have been the better team for most of this half and are deservedly in front thanks to Chabot’s header. They could have had more, with decent chances for Undav, Leweling and Karazor, but Paderborn have also shown glimpses of what they’re capable of and are not out of this yet.

Stuttgart good value for their lead

xGoals

The xGoals value of a club is calculated from the sum of all goal probabilities (goals and shots on goal) of that team. During a match, it’s easy to see whether the club is performing better than expected (goals > xGoals) - or maybe even higher (xGoals > goals).

The American midfielder curls a low shot from outside the box through a crowd of legs but Seimen dives down to his left to save.

Off the post!

Stuttgart break forward at pace. Führich's cross from the left finds Leweling at the back post but his fierce, low strike hits the base of the post and bounces clear!

Stuttgart lead!

The away side have been on top and now their pressure takes its toll. Stiller floats a cross from the left towards the back post, where Chabot rises above his marker to nod in from close range.

Leweling goes one-on-one!

Another fine pass from Undav, this time into the path of Leweling, who skips away from Hansen to go clean through on the goalkeeper. His shot is well saved by Noll, though.

22'

Chance for Karazor

Mittelstädt does really well down the left to squeeze a low cross into the box. It's worked back to Karazor, who gets a shot away. It's blocked by a defender and Undav can't quite get to the rebound in time.

No way through

Paderborn are battling well but Stuttgart are showing signs of going up through the gears.

Glimpse for Demirović

Undav chips a clever pass through the Paderborn defence to his strike partner. He gets a shot away but goalkeeper Noll saves it with his head.

Visitors on top

VfB are enjoying more of the ball and playing more in Paderborn's half, but aside from that Undav attempt they haven't been able to create too much.

Ralf Kettemann on facing Stuttgart

"Here comes a Champions League team that has written one of the greatest success stories in German soccer in recent years. They have their systems in place and are very well organised in everything they do. They have high quality, very physical players."

Seimen to return

Hoeneß has confirmed that the fit-again Dennis Seimen will start in goal for his Bundesliga debut. The 20-year-old helped Paderborn to promotion while on loan last season. "Fabian [Bredlow] did a great job in the previous games and will get his games in the future. But it's been decided that Dennis will play. He's our number one. That's what we said going into the season."

"We need to be right on it. Paderborn are still riding the wave of their promotion and beat Hoffenheim last time out. After our demanding opening run, we now want to really get going and start this next block with momentum."

Pejčinović at the double

Dženan Pejčinović was in action with Germany's U21s on Tuesday and netted a brace in his side's victory over Georgia to secure qualification for the U21 UEFA European Championships next summer. He now has four goals in 10 games at that level.

Undav to coach one day?

That could well be the case, according to a recent interview he did with the Bundesliga. The Stuttgart striker revealed how he likes to assess different match situations during his free time in the evening to work out what could have been done differently and even suggests his ideas to Sebastian Hoeneß.

Curda battling hard

Wing-back Laurin Curda has been an industrious presence down Paderborn's right side, having won the outright most duels in the league over the first four matchdays (61). He also tops the internal club rankings for most sprints made (55) and has one assist to his name.

Mixed fortunes on the road

Stuttgart have scored at least once in each of their last 23 Bundesliga away matches, which is a running club record. However, the Swabians have won only one of their last nine Bundesliga away games. Nevertheless, Sebastian Hoeneß will feel Paderborn are the perfect opponent to break this streak, given that Stuttgart have never lost any of their five competitive meetings with Paderborn (four wins, one draw).
