The game began with Stuttgart showing promise, as Chris Führich recorded the team's first shot on target in the 4th minute. Shortly after, Ermedin Demirovic scored his first Champions League goal, capitalizing on a defensive error by Belgrade to give Stuttgart an early lead.
However, the advantage was short-lived. Silas, a VfB loanee, equalized for Red Star in the 12th minute with a well-executed solo effort. Following the equalizer, Red Star dominated the match, taking the lead in the 31st minute when Rade Krunic scored after a defensive lapse from Stuttgart.
