Jeong Woo-yeong Nets Maiden Goal as Stuttgart Stun Bayern Munich
It was an electrifying Korean derby as VfB Stuttgart hosted Bayern Munich at the MHP Arena in Stuttgart, Germany. The match remained deadlocked at 1-1 after Leonidas Stergiou’s opener for Stuttgart in the 29th minute and a penalty from Bayern’s Harry Kane in the 37th minute. However, midfielder Jeong Woo-yeong, coming on as a substitute in the 72nd minute, broke the deadlock with a header in the 83rd minute, followed by Silas sealing the victory with a goal in stoppage time. This marked Jeong’s first goal for Stuttgart since joining from SC Freiburg last year. Despite his intermittent playing time, Jeong earned military service exemption through a gold medal at the Hangzhou Asian Games. With this crucial win, third-place Stuttgart closed the gap with second-place Bayern to just two points, setting up an exciting finish to the Bundesliga season.
