Stuttgart have won their 22nd match this term, an incredible feat as they have never secured this number of victories in a single season. What makes this even more rem💛arkable is, this time last year they were playing in a relegation play-off.
Guirassy scored the opening goal of a gam🎃e for the 11th time this season. He is the only non-German player to do so more often in a season since Bremen's Ailton in 2003-04 (12 times). The forward increased his tally to 26 for the season with his strike just three minutes into the second half.
Seb Hoeness' side have scored in 30 of their 33 games - only Bayer Leverkusen (31) have scored goals in more matches in the German league this season. As they dominated the tie, Chris Fuehrich went close to adding a second, only to be denied byꦯ Augsburg keeper Tomas Koubek.
This win lifts Stuttgart to second in the table above Bayern Munich, with the Bavarian side welcoming Wolfsburg to the Allianz Arena on♚ Sunday.
Hoeness' team have already secured Champions League football for next season and, with one game left, this season has been a turnaround fans could only have dreamed o𝐆f at the beginning of𓆉 the season.
