Fulham 1:0 VfB Stuttgart — Match Report

Gary RedknappFootball AnalystMATCH REPORT

Alex Iwobi was the orchestrator as Fulham edged out VfB Stuttgart 1-0 in a Club Friendly, the midfielder’s rating of 9.63 underpinning a narrow win that sets up little of note beyond pre-season momentum. The single goal arrived on 67 minutes, Timothy Castagne finishing smartly after Iwobi’s assist, and that proved decisive in a contest otherwise devoid of cards, reds or VAR drama.

The turning point came midway through the second half, when Iwobi slid Castagne through and the full-back converted, breaking a stalemate that had frustrated both sides. Stuttgart pressed for an equaliser but found no way through, and the match ended as a tale of one moment of quality against stubborn resistance.

On the numbers, possession was dead level at fifty percent apiece with no corners recorded for either side, so neither team could claim territorial dominance. Iwobi stood out purely on his exceptional rating, a midfielder whose work rate and creativity elevated a scrappy friendly. CheckLive’s model clearly favoured Stuttgart, but that read proved wrong as Fulham took the spoils.
