Serhou Guirassy was on duty for Guinea and Borna Sosa wore the Croatia shirt.

VfB Stuttgart against VfL Wolfsburg under pressure
Wolfsburg/Stuttgart – VfB Stuttgart is under pressure before the match at VfL Wolfsburg.
After seven Bundesliga games, the Swabians are still waiting for their first win of the season and are therefore under pressure.
A mental strain that VfB coach Pellegrino Matarazzo is aware of.
That's why he wants to focus on the defensive against the wolves, because that doesn't require self-confidence.
When working against the ball, you don't need "a broad chest to defend passionately, just a work mentality," says the coach.

Last Thursday (September 22nd) Stuttgart passed a successful test.
VfB won 2-1 against Grashopper Zürich after goals from Naouirou Ahamada and Juan José Perea.
Like VfB, VfL Wolfsburg has five meager points after seven games and is in 17th place.
So there is a real basement duel against the table sixteenth from Stuttgart.
