Which was for a play in the Tuesday evening in the Stuttgart Mercedes Benz arena. Third of the Spanish league, the fiber plastic Sevilla was to guest in third champions the League group play of this season. The VfB Stuttgart, in the middle in the crisis, was by only two points from the first two plays already powerfully under pressure, finally wants one despite the present situation the round of the last sixteen in the “king class” to reach. Accordingly momentumful those started Swabia also into the portion. The first 25 minutes football of the finest one played, the fiber plastic Sevilla has nothing against to add and around other time brought the natives of stuttgart the backer shank of the Andalusier by promising attacks, particularly over the outside, in distress. But then the fiber plastic Sevilla shot for the first time on the gate - and the VfB lay in the back. Better said: the fiber plastic Sevilla, in person of Squillaci cut back Boulahzrouz pennte and the VfB on the gate, was past completely undeservedly. In addition, in the remaining play minutes of the 1. Half time wanted to fall no more gate, although one played further engaged forward. Already up to then a play for despairing, because one the better crew was clear, had nearly twice as much ball possession, only the result was evenly the wrong.

However it should become still worse. In the second half time were not only few minutes played, there let Jens Lehmann a flank unfortunately directly before the empty gate reflect and Sevillas a Jesus Navas had problems with 0:2. Babbel reacted and sent equivalent three new players on the field, it helped first little, because again it was Squillaci, which obtained 0:3 from Stuttgart view by head - to all abundance also still from clear offside position. But the VfB fallow completely apart, but did not rear up again. Elson obtained with a freistoss worth seeing the honour hit and would have it in Stuttgart not so much pitch, the play probably undecided would at present have gone out, because to slidegate valve an enormous gate chance assigned, shortly thereafter met Tasci only the slat - symptomatic for the Stuttgart situation in promising position. At the end one must determine: It is missing to one with the VfB, which also uses the many chances, one like Mario Gomez evenly.
