VfB were on fire in the first half as they took the game to Bayern, but they missed good chances through Chris Führich and Serhou Guirassy, who had an effort cleared off the line by Eric Dier (28′).
Stergiou breaks the deadlock
Leonidas Stergiou did find the back of the net moments later, however, playing a one-two with Deniz Undav before lifting a brilliant effort over Manuel Neuer to put VfB in front (29′). Bayern were back on level terms just eight minutes later, though, Harry Kane converting from the penalty spot to leave the game all square at the interval.
Brilliant second half
Sebastian Hoeneß’s side remained on top after the break, and got their reward in the closing stages. Wooyeong Jeong got on the end of Silas’ superb cross to head the boys from Cannstatt back in front in the 83rd minute, and Silas himself crowned a dominant team display with a composed effort in stoppage time (90’+3) from Serhou Guirassy’s dogged assist.

29′: Stergiou plays a one-two with Undav and then clinically dinks the ball over the onrushing Neuer to make it 1-0.

83′: Silas delivers a cross from the right to the back post, where Jeong heads home to spark wild celebrations.
90’+3: Via a determined tackle, Guirassy directs the ball to Silas just outside the penalty area, and he seals the points with a pinpoint finish.
