Highlights

Stuttgart’s streak of scoring in ten consecutive matches in all competitions screeched to a halt under the Friday night floodlights on 19 September 2026. Borussia Dortmund arrived on matchday 4 of the Bundesliga carrying a run of six straight victories across all competitions, and they extended that flawless sequence by taking all the points.
The visitors climbed from third to first in the 18-team table with 12 points. Maximilian Mittelstädt earned a 7.9 rating for the hosts, while Gregor Kobel recorded a 7.6 rating for the victors and Felix Nmecha matched that defensive effort with a 7.9 rating. Despite holding 56 percent possession and forcing Gregor Kobel into action with five shots on target, Stuttgart could not find a way through. The breakthrough arrived in the 70th minute when M. Beier scored for Dortmund, assisted by J. Bellingham.
Historically, recent clashes between these two clubs have heavily favoured Stuttgart, who won four of their previous six meetings since 2023, including a 5-1 home victory. However, Dortmund had already shown an ability to reverse that trend by winning 2-0 at this ground on 4 April 2026, and they repeated that defensive resilience here.
Following this result, Stuttgart find themselves 9 points behind the leaders.
