AUGSBURG, Germany (Interstat) — Stuttgart opened its Bundesliga season with a commanding 5-2 victory over Augsburg on Sunday, March 22, 2026, at WWK Arena, powered by a dominant performance from its substitutes.

Deniz Undav led the attack with two goals, while fellow substitute Nikolas Nartey added a goal and an assist. Tiago Tomás, also entering off the bench, scored Stuttgart’s other goal. The visitors scored three times in a decisive 15-minute span of the first half.

Augsburg’s goals came from defender Fabian Rieder and forward Anton Kade. The result defied a pregame projection that narrowly favored Stuttgart. The home side finished the match with four yellow cards.
