Stuttgart, the Bundesliga runner-up, secured an easy 5-0 victory over Preußen Münster in the German Cup’s first round. The dominating performance included goals from Angelo Stiller, Ermedin Demirovi?, Pascal Stenzel in the first half, followed by Nick Woltemade’s debut goal and Atakan Karazor’s penalty in the second half. This win marked Stuttgart’s first victory of the season, following a 3-1 loss to Freiburg in the Bundesliga opener.
The game, held at Preußenstadion, faced a brief delay due to a pyrotechnics display from the away fans. The match was rescheduled as Stuttgart’s participation in the German Supercup impacted their German Cup fixtures, leading to a boycott by ultras from both Stuttgart and Bayer Leverkusen.
In a heartfelt tribute, Münster fans honored the late German coach Christoph Daum, who passed away on Saturday, with a banner displaying “rest in peace champion-coach Daum.” Münster’s recent history saw them rise from the fourth tier to the second division in consecutive seasons.
