VfB Stuttgart won 4-2 at BayArena after taking a 2-0 lead, then pulling clear again in the second half. Ermedin Demirović scored twice and Jamie Leweling added the second before the interval, while Bayer Leverkusen cut the gap twice.

Demirović opened the scoring in the 14th minute, Jamie Leweling made it 2-0 on 22 minutes, and Patrik Schick pulled one back for Bayer Leverkusen in the 28th minute from Aleix García's assist. That left Stuttgart 2-1 up at half-time.

Bilal El Khannouss restored Stuttgart's two-goal lead on 51 minutes from Chris Führich's pass, and Demirović made it 4-1 in the 65th minute for his second of the match, set up by Deniz Undav. Leverkusen changed things with Jonas Hofmann on for Lucas Vázquez in the 62nd minute, then Malik Tillman and Robert Andrich followed later, and Ibrahim Maza reduced the arrears to 4-2 on 79 minutes from Miguel Gutiérrez. Stuttgart made two changes on 65 minutes and two more on 85 minutes to see it out.
