Outcome reported
- VfB Stuttgart beat 1. FC Köln 4-1 in their first home Bundesliga game of the season.
- Bilal El Khannouss, Grischa Prömel, Ermedin Demirovic and Josha Vagnoman scored for Stuttgart.
- Cologne, who had beaten Hoffenheim in their opener, scored through a Ramon Hendriks own goal.
VfB Stuttgart dominated Cologne 4-1 in their first home match of the new Bundesliga season, recovering quickly from a 5-1 opening defeat at Bayern Munich.
Bilal El Khannouss gave Stuttgart the lead in the 39th minute with a fine solo effort. New signing Grischa Prömel doubled the advantage in front of 60,000 spectators, including Germany coach Jürgen Klopp, before Ermedin Demirovic made it 3-0 in the 75th minute.
Cologne had beaten Hoffenheim 3-2 at the start of the season, but they struggled to create chances in Stuttgart. Their best spell came immediately after halftime, when Ellyes Skhiri missed an opportunity and Stuttgart goalkeeper Fabian Bredlow made several saves.
Prömel’s goal ended Cologne’s pressure. Ramon Hendriks’ own goal in the 81st minute offered only a brief consolation, and Josha Vagnoman restored Stuttgart’s three-goal lead in the final minute.
