Guirassy’s Goal Propels Dortmund; Stuttgart Stumbles Again

UPDATE: Borussia Dortmund has secured a crucial 2-0 victory over 10-man Heidenheim in the Bundesliga, thanks to a standout performance by Serhou Guirassy, who scored his fourth goal in just three games. This triumph keeps Dortmund firmly on track as they aim for the top of the league.
In stark contrast, Stuttgart continues to struggle, facing a disappointing 3-1 loss against Freiburg on Saturday. Stuttgart, the reigning German Cup champion, opened the scoring with a stunning heel goal from Ermedin Demirović, only to see Freiburg rally back with a brace from Igor Matanović and another goal from Derry Scherhant. This defeat marks Stuttgart’s second loss in three matches this season, intensifying concerns over their performance.
Heidenheim’s challenging match began on a low note, losing defender Leart Pacarada to injury early on, followed by a red card for Budu Zivzivadze for a reckless challenge on Felix Nmecha. Guirassy capitalized on the situation, netting the opener in the 33rd minute, and Maximilian Beier added a second goal before halftime, sealing a decisive win for Dortmund.
