Stuttgart sparkle but Alvarez salvages draw for 10-man Atlético Madrid
Story updated
The story in brief
7-second readVfB Stuttgart bossed the opening half but a Julian Alvarez goal upon the restart would be enough to see it end as a 1-1 stalemate.
From the source
VfB Stuttgart were left frustrated at full time tonight as they were held to a 1-1 draw by the 10 men of Atlético Madrid. Sebastian Hoeneß' side bossed the opening half but Jamie Leweling's strike was cancelled out shortly after the break by a Julian Alvarez stunner.
Defending the Cannstater Kurve to begin with, Atlético Madrid came under a barrage of fire starting with Bilal El Khannouss' drive inside seconds. Jan Oblak was called into action, punching a fearsome Angelo Stiller hit after some fine work from Jamie Leweling out wide.
After a momentary let up, Stuttgart's pressure finally told. Stiller picked the pockets of Marc Pubill, finding Leweling who dropped a feint before cutting onto his left peg to whip the ball inside the post.
