VfB Stuttgart produced an important away performance to defeat ŠK Slovan Bratislava 3–1 in their UEFA Champions League league-stage clash on matchday 7.
The German side’s win in Bratislava gives them a valuable three points at a key juncture in the group campaign. Slovan Bratislava, meanwhile, were left with only a solitary goal to show for their efforts as they fell short against more clinical opposition.
The match, played on 21 January 2025, finished with Stuttgart three goals to the good against one for the home side. While the scoreline underlines Stuttgart’s attacking edge, detailed information on goal scorers, timings, bookings, and substitutions was not available in the official dataset at the time of writing.
As a result, it is not possible to confirm who found the net for either team or how the game’s key incidents unfolded. What is clear is that Stuttgart’s victory away from home significantly enhances their prospects of progressing from the Champions League league stage, adding pressure to their group rivals in the race for qualification.
For Slovan Bratislava, the defeat represents a setback in their European campaign, especially in front of their own supporters, and leaves them with ground to make up if they are to stay in contention.
Both clubs will now turn their attention to the remaining fixtures of the league stage, where every point will be crucial. Full match information, including any future updates to statistics and events, can be followed via the official competition and team pages:
