Demirovic strikes late for Stuttgart to move team into Bundesliga top 4 with
1-0 win over Freiburg
BERLIN (AP) --- Ermedin Demirovic scored in the last minute for Stuttgart to
beat Freiburg 1-0 on Sunday and move fourth in the Bundesliga, the last place
for Champions League qualification.
Demirovic controlled Deniz Undav's cross from the left and then hit the ball
with a brilliant strike under the crossbar near the right post.
Stuttgart goalkeeper Alexander Nbel denied Bruno Ogbus a response and the home
team held on for the three points, capitalizing on Leipzig's defeat at home to
Mainz the day before.
Stuttgart moved three points ahead of Leipzig with 14 rounds remaining.
Borussia Dortmund was hosting last-place Heidenheim later, hopeful of a win to
cut Bayern Munich's lead to six points following the Bavarian powerhouse's
surprise 2-2 draw at Hamburger SV the day before.
