El Khannouss secures VfB Stuttgart fourth place in the table!

The waves of the Bundesliga hit up, and VfB Stuttgart has catapulted itself to fourth place in the table with an important victory against 1. FC Heidenheim. In a gripping game on October 5, 2025, Stuttgart kept the upper hand and celebrated a 1-0 home win, which was fought in the stadium in front of 60,000 enthusiastic spectators. Bilal El Khannouss scored the decisive goal in the 65th minute after little excitement came up in the first half.

The 19-year-old El Khannouss showed his skills when he hit the far corner from about 18 meters unsustainably. His trainer, Sebastian Hoeneß, praised him for the precise shot, even if he did not meet a sleek hammer. It was already the third goal of the season for the offensive player, and he scored all goals with the inside.

Defensive strength and historical facts

With this victory, Stuttgart remains without conceding a goal in his local arena - a performance that was last seen in the 1991/92 season. Heidenheim, on the other hand, could not overcome his offensive problems and remains without away points after the first win of the season against FC Augsburg. The defensive tactics of the guests, characterized by several injury -related failures, in particular Sirlord Conteh, made it difficult for the Stuttgart to break through.

The first half was rather tough. Only a significant shot from Stuttgart's goalkeeper Alexander Nübel caught the eye, while Heidenheim's defensive was able to fend off a lot. The second half of the game then brought the decisive change on the part of the Stuttgart, which finally led to the solution.

No more goals

The heat of the game increased in the final phase when a goal by Ermedin Demirovic was not recognized in added time - a previously whistled foul thwarted the joy of the Stuttgart. But despite these moments of the drama, Stuttgart remained victorious and strengthened his position in the table.

VfB Stuttgart has made good business with this victory and positioned itself in the Bundesliga, with the Champions League-Platz now tangible. The fans can hope for other exciting games, and with players like El Khannouss, who are in shape, the chances of further success seem great.
