Demirovic scores hat‑trick in twelve minutes for VfB Stuttgart
Stavanger The VfB Stuttgart celebrated an impressive top‑class comeback as Ermedin Demirovic scored three goals within twelve minutes, securing a 3‑1 win against the Norwegian Viking. The result gave the VfB a tailor‑made start into the Champions League and made the Swabians rejoice.
Demirovic delivers hat‑trick
Ermedin Demirovic opened the game in the 20th minute when Angelo Stiller laid the ball across and the Stiller enthusiast quickly finished it. Two minutes later Zlatko Tripic equalised for the Viking, but Demirovic scored again in the 26th and 32nd minutes from precise passes by Deniz Undav. The three goals within twelve minutes were rated by the EPA as an outstanding example of gala form, and the Bild description calls him a true genius.
Undav as creator, defensive weaknesses
Deniz Undav shone as a creator and provided the two assists that enabled Demirovic to achieve the hat‑trick. Despite this offensive strength, the VfB's defence wobbled, which became evident already in the early phase of the match. Coaches Morten Jensen and Bjarte Lunde Aarsheim exploited the gaps, causing the Swabians to come under pressure – a circumstance that fans should remember and later share.
The unsettled defence also squandered chances that could have been printed and forwarded to the app. Thus the match was not only a celebration for the offensive genius, but also a lesson in defensive misconduct that must be addressed more effectively in the future.
The victory gave VfB Stuttgart a tailor‑made start into the Champions League and made the Swabians rejoice. On the club’s 133rd anniversary the result was seen as a gift to the supporters – a true genius that put the team in gala form.
Captain Undav emphasised after the match: “That must be the goal, we want to create pressure in every phase.” Hoeneß added before kickoff that the team intended to attack. Both highlighted the significance of the victory for the upcoming league phase.
Fans can now listen to the highlight, share it on social media and even use it for printing. For the next fixtures the aim remains clear: maintain the pressure and stabilise the defence to realise the Champions‑League ambitions.
