STUTTGART, Germany, March 1, (V7N) – Bayern Munich came from behind to secure a 3-1 victory over Stuttgart on Friday, extending their Bundesliga lead to 11 points with just 10 games remaining. Goals from Michael Olise, Leon Goretzka, and Kingsley Coman sealed Bayern’s ninth win in their last 10 league matches, keeping them on track to reclaim the title from Bayer Leverkusen.

Stuttgart took the lead in the 34th minute through Angelo Stiller’s impressive long-range strike, punishing Bayern for a sluggish start. However, the visitors equalized just before halftime when Olise latched onto a Leroy Sane pass and finished clinically. The goal stood after a lengthy VAR review, with replays suggesting a tight offside call.

Goretzka put Bayern ahead early in the second half, pressing Stiller into a mistake before powering his way into the penalty area and firing home. The midfielder, who was only included in the starting lineup due to Aleksandar Pavlovic’s illness, delivered a crucial performance after losing his spot in the German national team to Stiller.

Coman sealed the victory in stoppage time, capitalizing on Stuttgart goalkeeper Alexander Nuebel’s poor positioning to slot home Bayern’s third. The result leaves Stuttgart unable to replicate their 3-1 win in the same fixture last season, when they leapfrogged Bayern into second place.

Despite the win, Bayern had one concern as Alphonso Davies limped off late in the match. With a crucial Champions League last-16 tie against Bayer Leverkusen coming up on Wednesday, the Bavarians will be eager for a swift recovery for their star full-back.

Bayern manager Vincent Kompany praised his team’s resilience in a difficult away fixture, emphasizing their determination to end the season on top after going trophyless last year. Leverkusen, however, can close the gap to eight points if they defeat Eintracht Frankfurt on Saturday.
