VfL suffered a setback against high-flying Stuttgart on Matchday 7. After deservedly leading at half-time through Yannick Gerhardt’s first goal of the season, the Green-and-Whites failed to stretch their advantage and were undone by a quickfire hat-trick from Bundesliga top scorer Serhou Guirassy, who increased his goals tally to a remarkable 13.
After the forthcoming international break, the Wolves return to action at Bayer 04 Leverkusen on Saturday 21 October (kick-off 15:30 CEST).
