Borussia Mönchengladbach, Stuttgart, Joe Scally and Shuto Machino
23 October 2026
Borussia Mönchengladbach secured their first Bundesliga points of the season with a 3-2 comeback victory away to Stuttgart. United States defender Joe Scally scored and assisted as Gladbach avoided becoming the first team in Bundesliga history to lose their opening seven matches.
Ermedin Demirović gave Stuttgart an early lead before Scally equalised with a backheel shortly before half-time. Shuto Machino put Gladbach ahead six minutes after the restart, and 17-year-old Wael Mohya extended the lead following a Scally cross. Demirović scored again late on, but Gladbach held on for victory. Despite the breakthrough, the visitors remained bottom of the Bundesliga standings.
Why It Matters
Gladbach finally ended their losing streak but still face an uphill relegation battle.
