Shortly after the referee incorrectly waved off Bayern's penalty shout when Arjen Robben was fouled by Serder Tasci, the Bavarians had earned a second penalty. This time the referee made the correct decision.
Bayern Munich vs. VfB Stuttgart, 2013 DFB Pokal Final: Müller gives Bayern the lead with a penalty
Philipp Lahm streaked into the penalty area and was tripped up by Ibrahima Traore. The referee immediately blew the whistle and pointed to the penalty spot. The kick fell onto the shoulders of Thomas Müller, and the 23 year old sent Sven Ulreich the opposite direction before banging it into the left side of the net. With 37 minutes gone, Bayern finally had their lead at 1-0.
Obviously, the goal here for Stuttgart is to grab a goal and pull themselves level with Bayern. However, they must work hard here to not concede another goal (or two) before the half. Bayern like to score in bunches, and they would love to put the death nail in Stuttgart before the first half comes to an end.
