Match Report
Gladbach win first game of the season at Stuttgart
Borussia Mönchengladbach finally have points on the board. After losing their first six league games, the worst start in the club's Bundesliga history, they came from a goal down to win 3-2 at Stuttgart. It was also the first victory under coach Alexander Blessin.
Ermedin Demirovic put the hosts ahead after five minutes with a long-range shot that keeper Moritz Nicolas touched but could not keep out. Joe Scally levelled in the 38th minute with a backheel. Just before the break Wael Mohya hit the crossbar, and Stuttgart were lucky to stay level.
Shuto Machino made it 2-1 in the 51st minute from Mohya's cutback, and the 17-year-old added his own header in the 66th after Scally's pass across goal. Demirovic pulled one back in the 83rd, heading in from a Jamie Leweling assist, and Bilal El Khannouss was denied by Nicolas in stoppage time. Mohya was named player of the match.
Gladbach remain bottom of the table, but are no longer pointless. Stuttgart have lost five of their seven league games and have six points, which leaves them close to the relegation zone.
