VfB Stuttgart 0-2 TSG Hoffenheim

Stuttgart dropped to the bottom of the Bundesliga on Saturday after losing the Baden-Wurttemberg derby with Hoffenheim 2-0 at the Mercedes-Benz-Arena.Anthony Modeste and Tarik Elyounoussi earned Hoffenheim more than just bragging rights against their nearest geographical rivals, who could barely be any further away from them now in the league standings.With no points and no goals from four games this season, Armin Veh has a lot of work to do for Stuttgart, whose next opponents are Borussia Dortmund.When things are not going your way then luck tends to be elusive and that was the case again for Stuttgart.After a bright opening, their former player Sebastian Rudy sent in a free-kick from the right which was headed in from six yards out by Modeste.It proved to be Hoffenheim's one and only chance of the first half with Stuttgart dominating proceedings, but failing to find their reward.Daniel Didavi was at the heart of most of the action, showing some of his most consistently good form in two years ravaged by injury.He skipped past four Hoffenheim players on his way to setting up Florian Klein for a shot the Austrian should have done more with in the 29th minute.Klein's cross was headed over by Moritz Leitner with Didavi also heading over just before the interval.It seemed like Stuttgart could get nothing right at all, and that first goal of the season showed no sign of arriving.Hoffenheim, on the other hand, proved that they could score effectively at will, netting their second big chance of the match six minutes from time to steal the points.Kevin Volland sent Elyounoussi through and, although Stuttgart goalkeeper Sven Ulreich got the upper hand in their first duel, the Norwegian came out on top of the second to seal victory.ends
