BERLIN - VfB Stuttgart scored a 1-0 victory at Augsburg on May 10 courtesy of Serhou Guirassy's second-half goal, to provisionally move into second place ahead of Bayern Munich with a club-record 22nd league win of the season.
Guinea international Guirassy struck three minutes after the restart to take his league tally to 26 goals.
It was the 11th time this season that Guirassy has scored the opening goal of a game, the second-best all-time record for a non-German player in the Bundesliga.
Stuttgart, with more than 70 per cent possession, dominated throughout and could have added another with Chris Fuehrich a little later but his effort was pushed wide by goalkeeper Tomas Koubek.
The win lifted Stuttgart, who have secured their Champions League spot for next season, to 70 points. They are a point ahead of Bayern, who are in action against VfL Wolfsburg on May 12. REUTERS
