Outstanding performance
VfB Stuttgart•MidfielderPaderborn controlled large spells of this match, out-shooting Stuttgart 23-18 and dominating dangerous attacks 69-48, but a well-worked set piece and a moment of composed finishing from the visitors proved decisive. Jeff Chabot headed home Angelo Stiller's free kick in the 25th minute to give Stuttgart an early platform, and despite sustained home pressure and seven corners to Stuttgart's five, the hosts could not find a way through a resolute away defence. Chris Führich punished a late wave of Paderborn chances in the 83rd minute, scoring moments after his own side had survived a flurry of blocked shots inside their box, to put the game beyond doubt. For Stuttgart, the win keeps them firmly in the mix near the top, while Paderborn's wastefulness in front of goal - three big chances missed despite the territorial dominance - will be the lingering frustration as they remain stuck in the bottom half.
