Opportunity wasted
Sancho gets into position on the right but he rushes his cross and the ball flies away from danger.

No go, Sancho
The ball breaks for Sancho, who fires it down Nübel's throat. That might just be that for the hosts.
90'
+ 7
Guirassy miss
The Stuttgart striker should have finished it. Silas plays Guirassy in and the forward goes for power as opposed to placement. The ball is skied. At the other end, Haller's header is saved handily enough by Nübel.
90'
+ 5
Sancho side-netting
Jadon Sancho battles his way thorough on the left, only to shank his cross into the side-netting. Frustration rains down from the stands.

We'll have nine more minutes in this game.

Moukoko and out
Youssoufa Moukoko nudges the cross wide with Haller and Hummels better placed to take advantage.

A bit of time wasting from the Stuttgart keeper and that leads to a booking.

Adeyemi searching
Adeyemi plays a golf-chip-type pass towards the back stick. Nübel leaps and swats that one away.

What a miss!
Oh my. Sancho meets the corner with a header that has Nübel diving to save. The ball pops up for Schlotterbeck, who slams over the top a yard from goal.
75'
Sloppy Undav
Deniz Undav had the game at his feet there. An accurate pass to Guirassy from inside the box would surely have meant curtains for BVB. The forward's effort at finding his teammate is blocked out by Schlotterbeck, however.
73'
BVB change
Jamie Bynoe-Gittens comes on as Dortmund look to add some pace to their attack. Marcel Sabitzer is the man to make way.
72'
Double booking
Adeyemi trips Karazor, who shoves his opponent back. Both players are booked.

Undav denied
Stuttgart sub Leonidas Stergiou crosses for Deniz Undav, whose header is stopped by Kobel.

Stuttgart switch
Chris Führich is coming off. He's had a solid game, but Wooyeong Jeong is on for the remainder of this game.
66'
Füllkrug over
The striker almost produces an immediate response for the hosts with a header that flashes just over.
65'
BVB change
Edin Terzic makes an immediate move and throws Feliz Nmecha on for Julian Brandt.

Stuttgart lead!
A beautiful strike from the Bundesliga's second highest goalscorer puts Stuttgart ahead. A flowing VfB move ends with Leweling cutting a pass back for Guirassy, who side-foots a super finish into the top corner. The away end erupts. That's Guirassy's 24th goal of the campaign.
Goal probability
Goal probability
Goal probability determines the likelihood that the ball will land in the goal from every position on the pitch. The value is based on large amounts of data from previous years; factors such as shot angle, distance to goal and opponent pressure - as well as mathematical models.
Shot speed
Shot speed
Shot speed describes the maximum speed in km/h that a ball reaches in a shot on goal. The distance is measured from the location of the shot to the centre of the goal.
Distance to Goal
Distance to Goal
The distance to goal is measured at the time of the shot - from the position of the ball to the center of the goal.
61'
Leweling on a run
Leweling waltzes all the way through and is only prevented from getting his shot on target by a last-gasp Schlotterbeck challenge.
59'
Füllkrug in position
The Germany international leaps and heads towards goal under pressure. Nübel takes that one with relative ease.

Leweling wide of the mark
BVB lose the ball out on the left and Führich takes advantage, sending a pass into the middle, where Leweling volleys off target. That was a very good chance for VfB.
47'
Nothing doing for VfB
Guirassy falls in the area with Can breathing down the striker's neck. The referee waves play on.

Half-time: BVB 0-0 Stuttgart
No goals in the opening half but Stuttgart keeper Alexander Nübel has fashioned a couple of decent saves - one a point-blank stop from Karim Adeyemi - in an intense game of relatively few clear-cut chances.

Game resumes
Thankfully, Füllkrug looks to shaken off that blow to the head and is ok to continue.
40'
Head clash
Brandt's corner leads to a clash of heads between Hummels and Füllkrug. They both writhe around on the turf, with the Dortmund striker looking the worse off of the two. Hummels is back on his feet, but Füllkrug will need more attention.
37'
Handbags
Undav and Maatsen are involved in a little bit of push and shove and the ref wants a word with both of them. A few whistles from the crowd and on we go.

BVB edging it
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).

What a chance!
Hummels pops a pass into Adeyemi, who spins and is away on goal with Vagnoman in pursuit. The Stuttgart defender gets a touch on Adeyemi's shoulder, which may slightly put off the BVB forward, whose shot is well saved by Nübel.

Brandt can't make the most of a burst towards the Stuttgart box, the attacker being forced into a shot that fizzes wide.

Millot booked
Millot sees yellow after upending Ryerson.

Guirassy goes close!
Stuttgart should be leading after Serhou Guirassy meets Mittelstädt's inch-perfect pass into the centre. The visitors' top scorer uncharacteristically heads wide of the target from right in front of the posts.
20'
Sancho alive
The England winger dazzles down the right and pings a pass across the face. There's nobody there for BVB. Moments later, Sabitzer sends a bouncing shot into the arms of Nübel.

Can hit
Can takes a wallop from Guirassy, rising to meet the ball in the air. Dortmund's captain felt that and rolls around a bit on the floor. A little water and some encouraging words from the physio later and Can is ok to continue.

Can takes aim
Dortmund's skipper bends a shot towards the far corner from distance. Nübel races across his area before clawing the effort out. Füllkrug heads off target from the resulting set piece.

Stuttgart's big loss
A yellow card in the third minute of stoppage time last time out against Heidenheim rules out key Stuttgart defender Anton. Karazor comes in as his replacement and will have a big task on his hands.

Stuttgart have won seven of their last nine, including four in a row on the road. Five successive away wins in the Bundesliga would be a first. However, they've only won one of their last 14 league games in Dortmund (5-1, 2020/21).
