But the locals, who had missed a penalty in the first half (22), reacted in just four minutes, with a first goal from Josha Vagnoman (86, 1-3) and a second from Mick Woltemade (90).
In the last moments of added time, Chris Fuhrich (90+7) believed he was Stuttgart’s hero, with an agonizing goal that could have completed a comeback to rememberbut his goal was disallowed for offside.
Eintracht Frankfurt thus managed to leave Stuttgart with three valuable points under their belt that keep them in third position with 20 points, one less than RB Leipzig (2nd, 21 pts) and six behind the leader Bayern Munich (1st, 26 pts).
Bayern and Frankfurt are the only two teams among the top seven in the Bundesliga to have added three points on the 10th roundin which title candidates such as Leipzig and Leverkusen were tied (4th, 17 pts) and in which Borussia Dortmund lost (7th, 16 pts).
In the other match played, Augsburg (13th) and Hoffenheim (15th) tied without goals. The day closes on Sunday with the visit of Wolfsburg (12th) to Heidenheim (14th).
