VfB Stuttgart 0–2 Borussia Dortmund
Goals: 0-1 Adeyemi 90'+4, 0-2 Brandt 90'+6 (assist: Silva)
Dortmund arrived at the MHP Arena looking to maintain their strong position in second place, having turned around a 2-0 deficit to win 3-2 against Hamburg in their previous match. Stuttgart, meanwhile, had climbed to third after an impressive 5-2 victory at Augsburg.
History favoured the home side, with Stuttgart unbeaten in their previous seven meetings with Dortmund. The hosts' striker Deniz Undav entered the match on a remarkable scoring streak, having found the net in six consecutive Bundesliga matches - a feat unmatched by any other player this season.
