For a long time, it looked like Leverkusen were set to drop points again after they went two goals down. Jeremie Frimpong then halved the hosts' lead, but Granit Xhaka restored Stuttgart's two-goal advantage as he put the ball in his own net. However, Leverkusen pulled off one of their classic comebacks as a Piero Hincapie goal and an Angelo Stiller own-goal drew them level before Patrik Schick grabbed a 94th-minute winner, which sent Alonso and the away bench into raptures.
