Georg Niedermeier’s late header saw Stuttgart draw 2-2 with Steaua Bucharest and deny them a first win over German opposition in 55 years in this Europa League Group E opener.
The Germans had got off to a great start when Vedad Ibisevic headed them in front early on, but the Romanians quickly cancelled that out through Alexandru Chipciu.
Raul Rusescu thought he had made history for the visitors with his penalty 10 minutes from time, but Niedermeier ensured the spoils were shared.
