After a disastrous performance away at Eintracht Frankfurt on matchday 14, Bayern were on a mission to silence their critics, and when Harry Kane struck the back of the net in the second minute, a long evening appeared to be ahead for Stuttgart. However, despite two further goals being ruled out prior to the break, Bayern were unable to further their advantage heading into halftime.

Nevertheless, in spite of Stuttgart’s overwhelming possession, goals from Kane and Kim Min-jae would give the Rekordmiester an unassailable lead after the interval, punishing the visitors who struggled to create a significant chance on goal.
