VfB Stuttgart concede a 5-1 defeat at Red Star Belgrade on matchday 5 of the Champions League. It was the Serbs' first points of the season.
After an ideal start with a goal from former St. Gallen player Ermedin Demirovic after five minutes, Stuttgart gradually went under. By the 69th minute, Red Star had turned 0:1 into 4:1, with Silas, a striker on loan from Stuttgart, scoring the equalizer and substitute Nemanja Radonjic getting the last two goals. The Swiss, Fabian Rieder and Leonidas Stergiou, made partial appearances for VfB after the break.
Like Red Star, Sturm Graz also picked up their first points of the Champions League season. The Graz side beat Girona 1-0 at home thanks to a goal from Denmark's Mika Biereth, who leads the scoring charts in Austria. This means that only YB, Leipzig and Slovan Bratislava are still without points in the Champions League.
