Confirmed development
Bayern Munich defeated VfB Stuttgart 1-0 at Munich's Olympiastadion on 10 February 2001. Giovane Elber scored in the eighth minute, producing the only goal of the Bundesliga matchday-21 fixture. Bayern held that advantage at half-time and there was no further change to the score during the second half.
Details
The official DFB match record lists 41,000 spectators for the game. Its scoring sequence distinguishes this narrow victory from a late winner: Elber's early strike remained decisive for the rest of the contest. Stuttgart did not find an equaliser, and Bayern completed the home fixture with both the win and a clean sheet.
Context and dates
Both clubs had arrived after scoring freely in their preceding league matches. Bayern had won 3-1 at Wolfsburg, whereas Stuttgart had beaten Kaiserslautern 6-1. This time the visitors were unable to score and Bayern secured another victory by a smaller margin. The archive uses the exact competition date verified in the federation's match record; it does not backdate the publication of this newly added historical report.
