Leverkusen - Stuttgart: Nübel Saves the Game for Bayer

Nübel Keeps Alonso & Co. from Exploding

Stuttgart's Alonso and Co. inability to convert chances gifted victory to Leverkusen.

Bayer 04 Leverkusen secured a 1-0 victory against VfB Stuttgart on Friday night, with goalkeeper Lukas Nübel saving his team numerous times to keep Stuttgart at bay.

Stuttgart had the majority of the chances, particularly in the first half. In the first half, Serhou Guirassy had two great chances, but Nübel stopped him with ease. Then Coulibaly missed a header in the box, which proved costly for Stuttgart.

Stuttgart also hit the post twice in the second half, once through Borna Sosa and again through Chris Führich, but luck was not on their side. Leverkusen, on the other hand, did not offer much in attack but capitalized on the Stuttgart players' sloppiness.

In the end, Stuttgart paid the price for their inability to convert their chances. Leverkusen, meanwhile, was able to secure a victory despite not playing their best game.

Stuttgart's Missed Penalty

One of the key moments in the match came in the 70th minute when Stuttgart was awarded a penalty after Mitchel Bakker fouled Guirassy in the box. However, Genki Haraguchi failed to score and Nübel saved his poor penalty kick.

The missed penalty proved to be a turning point for both teams. Stuttgart lost momentum, while Leverkusen was able to gain confidence and eventually secure the victory.

Nübel at His Best

Lukas Nübel's performance was crucial for Leverkusen's victory. The goalkeeper made several saves, including a brilliant one-on-one stop late in the game. He also commanded his area well and was able to organize his defense effectively.

Nübel's performance was particularly impressive considering that he had not played a competitive match for nearly two months. He was able to step back into the team and make a significant contribution.

Conclusion

Leverkusen's victory was largely due to Nübel's heroics. Stuttgart, on the other hand, will be disappointed with their performance, particularly their inability to convert chances. They will need to improve their finishing if they want to start winning matches.
