Five-Goal Frenzy: Nartey Snatches Victory at MHP Arena
Must-Watch Futmetrix Score: 91/100. VfB Stuttgart showcased their top-four credentials in a breathtaking encounter, overcoming a resilient Frankfurt side through a dramatic late intervention.
Early Jolts and the Swabian Surge
The match at MHP Arena exploded into life from the opening seconds, setting a frantic Intensity that never wavered. Eintracht Frankfurt silenced the home crowd after just five minutes when R. Kristensen clinically finished a cross from R. Doan. However, VfB Stuttgart refused to buckle, gradually establishing controlled possession with a 59% share of the ball. Their persistence paid off in the 27th minute as Ermedin Demirović leveled the score. The momentum shifted entirely when the clinical Deniz Undav latched onto J. Vagnoman's delivery in the 35th minute to put the hosts ahead, capping a dominant first-half display that saw wave after wave of attacks.
Tactical Shifts and the Equalizing Punch
The second half saw both managers turn to their benches, altering the tactical Balance of the contest. Frankfurt, desperate to salvage a result, introduced M. Dahoud to spark their midfield, which increased the Stakes for a tiring Stuttgart backline. Despite Stuttgart launching a barrage of 20 shots, they couldn't find the elusive third goal, largely due to a combined 11 saves from both keepers keeping the scoreline tight. The drama intensified in the 80th minute when Frankfurt's substitute A. Amaimouni found space in the box to equalize. It was a classic sucker-punch that threatened to derail the home side's afternoon after they had dominated large stretches of play.
Nartey’s Late Heroics Seal the Points
Just as the match looked destined for a draw, the Upset Factor was dismissed by another super-sub. In the 87th minute, N. Nartey—who had entered the fray earlier to bolster the midfield—became the unlikely hero. Once again, Vagnoman provided the decisive pass, allowing Nartey to fire home and restore the lead. The MHP Arena erupted as Stuttgart successfully navigated a tense period of stoppage time. The victory keeps Stuttgart firmly in the title hunt, while Frankfurt will rue missed opportunities in a game where the lead changed hands five times. A total of 31 shots made this one a mandatory watch for any neutral, illustrating the relentless nature of the Bundesliga.
Key Questions
What made Deniz Undav the Man of the Match?
Undav was instrumental, scoring the go-ahead goal and providing 5 key passes to orchestrate Stuttgart's high-volume attacking play.
What caused the 5-goal thriller?
A combination of 31 total shots, high-pressing tactics, and impactful substitutions from both benches led to a chaotic, high-scoring affair.
How dramatic was the late winner?
Highly dramatic; substitute Nikolas Nartey struck in the 87th minute, just seven minutes after Frankfurt had seemingly rescued a point.
How is the Futmetrix Score calculated?
The Futmetrix Score (0-100) combines multiple factors: match intensity, competitive balance, stakes importance, and entertainment value to help you decide if this match is worth watching.
Stuttgart vs Frankfurt: Home Advantage Meets Tactical Poise
Highly Entertaining Futmetrix Score: 78/100. A genuine six-pointer in the Champions League race—two teams separated by a single point collide at MHPArena, and the winner can steal a march on the competition.
The Setup
Stuttgart occupy sixth spot with 26 points and solid Form: eight wins from 15 matches, a positive goal difference (+3), and home advantage at MHPArena. Recent results have been choppy, but they've stabilised. Frankfurt sit seventh, just one point adrift (25 points), and their Balance is striking—a level goal record (30:30), four draws, and remarkable consistency. The Stakes are through the roof: this is a winner-takes-all battle for European football.
The Tactical Battle
Control versus transition. Stuttgart will seek to dictate tempo and possession, imposing their rhythm on a visiting side that thrives on counter-attacking chaos. Frankfurt's high press and pace on the break will test Stuttgart's composure. The midfield duel—tempo-setters against disruptors—will determine whether the hosts can convert their Form advantage into three points.
Our Prediction
Stuttgart 2–1. The hosts dominate early possession and strike first, but Frankfurt's character emerges through their press. A second Stuttgart goal in the second half seals it, though Frankfurt's urgency ensures late drama. Home advantage proves decisive.

Should I watch this match?
Absolutely. High-stakes Bundesliga with Champions League implications. Both sides hungry for European football.

Stuttgart 2–1. Home Form and early pressure overcome Frankfurt's Balance in a tight contest.
Where do Stuttgart and Frankfurt stand in the table?
