Bayern Munich recorded their fourth straight victory after moving 1-0 past newly promoted Stuttgart, who squandered a penalty in the dying seconds of the match.

Stuttgart started highly motivated into the encounter against the German giants. The hosts disrupted Bayern's rhythm and came to chances through Chadrac Akolo in the opening stages.

Bayern needed time to gain a foothold into the game but still Robert Lewandowski had a promising chance to open the scoring with 21 minutes played but goalkeeper Ron-Robert Zieler defused the striker's effort.

Stuttgart's goalkeeper remained in the thick of things as he denied Corentin Tolisso an effort from the edge of the box with 37 minutes.

After the restart, Bayern gained momentum and pressed Stuttgart into the defence. Hence, Kingsley Coman, Lewandowski and James Rodriguez tested Zieler.

However, Stuttgart's goalkeeper was hapless in the 79th minute when substitute Thomas Mueller capitalized on a pass from Coman to break the deadlock from inside the box.

The "Swabians" had the golden chance to secure a 1-1 draw in the dying seconds of the game but Bayern goalie Sven Ulreich saved Chadrac Akolo' s foul play penalty.

With the result, Bayern remain atop the Bundesliga table and established an 11-point advantage meanwhile Stuttgart continue on the 14th place.

Elsewhere, last placed Cologne secured their first three points of the season after beating Wolfsburg on the sole goal from Christian Clemens.
