Hamburg SV win 1-0 against VfB Stuttgart at the Volksparkstadion.

The Bundesliga clash between Hamburg SV and VfB Stuttgart took place on 17 October 2026 at the Volksparkstadion in Hamburg Norderstedt. Both sides entered the match seeking three points, and the game unfolded under clear conditions with a modest attendance.

How it unfolded

The first half was largely cagey, with neither side creating clear-cut chances. The balance shifted in the second half when Hamburg SV began to assert more pressure. In the 54th minute, Warmed Omari received a yellow card for a bad foul, marking the first booking of the encounter. The warning did not deter Hamburg’s momentum, and the team continued to probe Stuttgart’s defence.

As the clock ticked towards the final quarter, Hamburg’s intensity grew. Nicolás Capaldo was booked in the 82nd minute for a bad foul, followed shortly by Otto Stange’s yellow card in the 85th minute, also for a bad foul. Despite the three cautions, Hamburg maintained their attacking shape.

The decisive moment arrived in the 88th minute. A rapid counter-attack saw Zakaria El Ouahdi deliver a precise pass to Miro Muheim, who struck a left-footed shot from outside the box into the bottom right corner. The goal gave Hamburg SV a 1-0 lead with only minutes remaining, and they held on for the full-time whistle.
