- Ermedin Demirovic scored twice but both goals were disallowed and the match at 1. FC Heidenheim finished 3:3.
- The first goal in the 31st minute was overturned after VAR review because VfB left-back Maximilian Mittelstädt had been fouled earlier in his own penalty area, resulting in a penalty for Heidenheim.
- The second strike, a header in the 73rd minute, was ruled out for a marginal offside and Stuttgart suggested the offside line drawn in Cologne may have been placed at Stefan Schimmer instead of Sirlord Conteh.
- Demirovic criticized the current reliance on VAR decision-making, urged that referees on the field retain authority, and nonetheless responded with self-deprecating humor about the evening.
He decides what happens on the pitch. If they say it's a foul, then it's a foul. Those are factual decisions.— Ermedin Demirovic after the VfB Stuttgart–1. FC Heidenheim match, commenting on refereeing decisions.
