Bayern Munich secured a narrow victory over Stuttgart at the Mercedes-Benz Arena, thanks to Sven Ulreich saving an injury-time penalty.
Sven Ulreich returned to haunt former club Stuttgart as his injury-time penalty save secured Bayern Munich a hard-fought 1-0 win over Stuttgart.
Ulreich – making his return from injury – kept out Chadrac Akolo's spot kick after the video assistant referee had awarded a foul by substitute Niklas Sule on Santiago Ascacibar in a frantic finish to the fixture.
The late miss meant a 79th-minute strike from Thomas Muller – who was sent on in the second half – settled the game after Bayern had struggled to find a way past home goalkeeper Ron-Robert Zieler at the Mercedes-Benz Arena.
