Stuttgart defeats Augsburg 1-0, reaches German Cup semis

Deniz Undav's first-half goal secured a 1-0 victory for VfB Stuttgart over Augsburg, advancing them to the German Cup semifinals. Undav scored in the 30th minute after a quick break and a setup from Ermedin Demirović, capitalizing on a defensive error by Augsburg. Despite Augsburg's strong start and some second-half chances, Stuttgart maintained control of the match, with goalkeeper Alexander Nübel remaining largely untroubled. This win marks a much-needed turnaround for Stuttgart, who ended a streak of three consecutive losses. They will next face Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga, while Augsburg's quest for a Cup semi-final berth ends here. Stuttgart last reached this stage of the tournament in 2013 and will aim for their first title since 1997.
