Stuttgart 3-1 Viking: Demirović hits first-half hat-trick
AI-written review based on match data · How we make it
Key numbers
- 66 of 90 minutes spent in the lead by Stuttgart
- Demirović scored in the 20', 26' and 32'
- 17 shots, 3 on target, all 3 scored
A 3-1 lead by half-time
Stuttgart opened their league phase with a 3-1 home win over Viking, and the contest was effectively settled before the break. Viking pulled level soon after falling behind, but Stuttgart restored their lead and were in front for 66 of the 90 minutes. There were no goals after the interval.
Demirović made the most of four shots
Ermedin Demirović scored a hat-trick before the interval. Three of his four shots were on target and every one went in. Angelo Stiller created the opener, while Deniz Undav provided the assists for the second and third, giving him two in the competition so far.
Clinical where it counted
Stuttgart's 17 shots produced only a few on target, but every one of those scored. Viking also sent three efforts on target; Fabian Bredlow saved two of them, while A. Østbø at the other end made no saves at all. The difference lay in conversion rather than in the volume of attempts.
The restored lead blunted Viking's reply
Viking's equaliser in the 22nd minute, scored by Z. Tripić from an H. Bjørdal assist, briefly levelled the match. Demirović's reply in the 26th minute put Stuttgart back in front and was worth +0.7 FN xPts, the largest of any goal in the match. Viking did not score again.
Player of the match
Ermedin Demirović 8.9Dominant
He scored three goals from three shots on target.
Demirović's value came almost entirely from attack: he turned four shots into three goals in 62 minutes on the pitch. His strikes in the 20th, 26th and 32nd minutes built a 3-1 lead that stood until full-time. He was substituted in the 62nd minute with that advantage intact.

Expected points don't add up to a fixed total (a draw is 1 + 1), so an opponent's moment isn't simply the mirror of your loss. "Time effect" is the change as the clock runs down on a lead or a chase, and isn't credited to any player.
