Another Germany international, Maximilian Mittelstaedt, converted a first-half penalty for the visitors while Leverkusen's Alejandro Grimaldo pulled one back from the spot in the second half.

The victory took the German Cup holders level on 29 points with thirdplaced RB Leipzig, but in fifth spot, one behind Leverkusen, on goal difference.

Stuttgart arrived in Leverkusen having won just one of the past 31 games in all competitions between the sides dating back to 2010, but were brilliant and led 4-0 at halftime.
