His goal counted a few minutes later, scored with a penalty kick that sent Müller into the wrong corner (41′). Konstantinos Mavropanos had previously fended off a shot from Grischa Prömel with his hand. The hand was indeed a little way from the body, but in a completely natural defensive position with no apparent intention whatsoever. However, such handballs have been whistled so often in recent weeks that the video assistant left the decision without a murmur.
VfB Stuttgart late dangerous
In contrast to the win against Gladbach, when VfB even made up for a 0:2 deficit, the Stuttgart team in Köpenick lacked speed, ideas and action in the attacking third for a long time. Gießelmann missed a good chance to make it 2-0 for the Berliners with a header (70th).
However, VfB became dangerous with a volley from Omar Marmoush (72′). Center forward Kalajdžić missed an even better chance in the 84th minute when he pointed the ball to the outside of the post. A little later he scored and let the Swabians cheer.
