Go Ahead Eagles Suffer Heavy 4-0 Blow at Home Against VfB Stuttgart

In a tough night at De Adelaarshorst, Go Ahead Eagles lost 4-0 to VfB Stuttgart in the UEFA Europa League match on November 27, 2025. The Dutch side, led by coach Melvin Boel, could not control the game as Stuttgart fought well from the start.

Stuttgart, who sit fifth in the Bundesliga, scored their first goal early. Yassir Salah Rahmouni made a bad pass. This pass helped Maximilian Mittelstadt work with Jamie Leweling. Leweling sent the ball past goalkeeper Jari de Busser to score. Soon after in the 35th minute, Leweling scored again by cutting inside and firing his shot to the near corner.

In the second half, Stuttgart kept up the attack. In the 59th minute, Leweling sent a clean cross to Deniz Undav. Undav then passed to Bilal El Khanouss. El Khanouss pressed the shot into the far corner to score his goal. In the last seconds, substitute Badredine Bouanani received a light chip. His shot deflected off a defender and found the net.

This loss puts Go Ahead Eagles in 27th place in the Europa League. They have two wins and three losses in five matches. Stuttgart now stands in 12th place with three wins and two losses, which improves their chance to move past the group stage.

Coach Melvin Boel’s team did not push hard enough to change the game. Faults in defense and many missed scoring chances made the loss worse. The Eagles must fix these faults to have a good season in Europe.

Fans are now very worried as the Eagles face strong rivals at home and in Europe. They hope the team will bounce back quickly in the next matches and show strong play.
