VFB Stuttgart VfB Stuttgart - SCF Freiburg Freiburg

Pandemonium among the Stuttgart fans as Tomás gets on the end of a right-wing cross from Bouanani, flicking the ball beyond Müller and into the far corner. He's booked for taking his shirt off, but he won't care one bit!

Vagnoman and Bouanani come on. Undav and Führich make way.

The Stuttgart winger takes aim from the corner of the box but the ball sails over the bar. Into the final five.

Tomás' goal-bound effort is blocked by Kübler and flies behind for a Stuttgart corner, which Freiburg eventually scramble clear. Desperate defending from the visitors.

Hendriks, who has just been cautioned, makes way for Jaquez. Karazor then gets on the end of a deep cross into the Freiburg area but Müller makes an easy save.

Undav plays a perfectly weighted pass into Führich, whose first-time effort rebounds off the foot of the post! Huge let-off for Freiburg, and what a chance for Stuttgart!

Undav almost picks out El Khannouss at the other end of the pitch, but the first-half substitute takes a heavy touch and the ball rolls harmlessly out of play for a Freiburg goal-kick.

El Khannouss - who has been outstanding since coming on - breaks clear down the left before cutting the ball back for Undav, whose shot from inside the box is parried away by Müller! Another magnificent save!

Müller produces an outstanding one-handed save to prevent Führich's curling drive from nestling inside the far post. Superb goalkeeping from the former VfB stopper, who was Freiburg's hero in the last round against Hertha.

Almost a carbon-copy finish from the Stuttgart striker, who scored from a similar position midway through the second half but this time guides his shot narrowly wide of Müller's far post.

El Khannouss tries his luck from the edge of the Freiburg box but his right-footed effort flies straight into Müller's arms.

Stiller does find the net this time, guiding a low shot into the bottom corner from the edge of the box, but the hosts' celebrations are cut short by the linesman's flag. Demirović was offside in the build-up!

Stiller's low delivery rolls all the way across the face of goal, but the hosts recycle possession and the Stuttgart midfielder almost forces the ball over the line from point-blank range. Out of nowhere, though, Müller sticks out a strong right hand to prevent VfB from getting back on level terms.

Stuttgart pick up where they left off at the end of the first half as Leweling rolls the ball across the face of goal into the path of Führich, who can't quite wrap his foot around the shot. Another golden opportunity for the hosts early in the second period.

Stuttgart win an early free-kick wide on the left-hand side after Treu's foul on Undav, but Führich's delivery is headed clear by Ginter.

Undav gets on the end of a loose ball and slams a shot towards goal from point-blank range, but Matanović flings himself in the way of the ball to deflect it behind for a corner, which comes to nothing. Magnificent defending from the Freiburg striker!

Another magnificent opportunity for Stuttgart as Leweling cuts inside onto his left foot before sending a low drive agonisingly past Müller's left-hand post. The hosts are knocking on the door as half-time approaches...

Leweling sends a lovely ball across the face of goal but none of his team-mates can get on the end of it.

The striker has a chance to test Müller after getting on the end of Undav's pass but can't keep his effort on target, sending the ball fizzing narrowly over the crossbar. That was Stuttgart's best chance of the game so far.

The home side have a good opportunity here after Matanović's foul on Leweling around 30 metres from goal. Führich takes the resulting free-kick but the winger's lofted delivery is too close to Müller.

Leweling's cross into Demirović is hooked clear and Freiburg immediately surge up the other end and win a corner.

Another late challenge - this time from Nartey on Eggestein - results in the second booking of the night.

Führich whips a teasing ball into the penalty area, but Lienhart manages to beat Demirović to the winger's cross. Good defending from the Freiburg man.

Stuttgart are beginning to see more of the ball, with Führich and Undav particularly lively in the final third so far. Freiburg are camped deep inside their own half at the moment.
