Stuttgart respond to a heavy opening-day defeat by beating Cologne 4-1 at home in their Bundesliga match on Friday evening. The victory is reported as a bounce-back after the team suffered a thumping in its season opener.

Yahoo Sports and Free Malaysia Today both describe the prior result that set the context for the weekend. Stuttgart are said to have been thrashed by Bayern Munich in their Bundesliga opener, including a large-margin defeat mentioned as 5-1 in one account. With the win over Cologne, Stuttgart improve from that start and secure a more positive result in their latest outing.

Across the two sources, the match outcome and context are consistent: Stuttgart win 4-1 at home against Cologne, following a Bayern Munich-led thrashing in their opener. Differences are mainly limited to the phrasing and the specific margin of the earlier defeat, rather than any disagreement about the Cologne match result.
