Angelo Stiller had a hand in both goals as VfB Stuttgart left SC Paderborn 07 with their first away win of the Bundesliga season. Jeff Chabot headed in the opener in the 25th minute, Chris Führich finished it in the 83rd, and Stuttgart went in 1-0 up at half-time before closing it out 2-0.

Stiller's control in midfield

Stiller was the difference in the way Stuttgart moved the ball in the decisive areas. He created both goals, and that was enough to turn a tight away game into a result they had been waiting for on the road.

His contribution sat on top of the kind of display Stuttgart needed after a mixed start. The win took them to 6 points from 5 matches, while Paderborn were left 12th after the defeat.

The goals that settled it

The opener came from a set piece, with Chabot scoring his first Bundesliga goal of the season in the 25th minute. Stuttgart then had to manage the game for a long spell before Chris Führich ended any doubt with his first league goal of the campaign in the 83rd minute.

Dennis Seimen also had a notable afternoon, making his starting Bundesliga debut for Stuttgart against his former loan club. Sebastain Hoeneß's side did not need to force the issue after the break, but they still had moments to make the margin wider, including Josha Vagnoman's post from a rebound in the 29th minute.
