The English defender executed a crucial intervention close to the goal line, thwarting Serhou Guirassy’s effort in the 28th minute of the game. Guirassy, hailing from Guinea, capitalized on a pass within the penalty area, endeavoring to slot the ball into what appeared to be an open net. Yet, Dier adeptly used his head to clear the ball away, preventing Guirassy from finding the back of the net. Nevertheless, the Bayern Munich standout ended up with blood staining his face as he reopened a head wound during the play.
Just sixty seconds following Dier’s valiant defensive move, Leonidas Stergiou capitalized on Deniz Undav’s assist to give Stuttgart the lead. However, the visitors equalized in the 37th minute courtesy of Harry Kane’s successful spot-kick after Serge Gnabry was fouled inside the penalty area.
Kane’s goal against Stuttgart marked his 36th in the league this season and his 44th overall. The captain of the English national team now stands just six goals shy of surpassing Robert Lewandowski’s record for the most goals scored in a single Bundesliga season.
Thomas Tuchel’s team will next take to the field on Wednesday in a showdown against Real Madrid for the second leg of their Champions League semi-final encounter.
