The win (3-2) against Borussia Moenchengladbach made Stuttgart one of the champions of the 25th round of the German League. And to turn the score – the outsiders had two balls in front – the work of Thiago Thomas, who was involved in making two goals, contributed a lot.
The striker’s performance on loan from Sporting – the fifth game for the Germans, the fourth as a starter and with two goals – deserved so much praise, that he was included in the eleventh of the prestigious ARD, the TV channel that follows the Bundesliga.
“A real booster for Stuttgart. The winter signing was hard-working, light and treacherous, always causing danger. The Portuguese started Stuttgart’s first two goals against Mönchengladbach and played an important role in the race to recover from disadvantage”, can be read in criticism of the 19-year-old Portugal international’s performance.
The starting lineup was dominated by players from Stuttgart and Eintracht Frankfurt: Ulrich (Bayern Munich). Soleil (Bayern Munich), Lienhardt (Freiburg) and Leitch (Bochum); Endo (Stuttgart), Knauf (Eintracht Frankfurt), Sousa (Stuttgart) and Raum (Hoffenheim); Thiago Thomas (Stuttgart), Kalajdzic (Stuttgart) and Pori (Eintracht Frankfurt).
