MUNICH: Silas Wamangituka sealed a 2-0 win for Stuttgart over Mainz for the promoted team's first victory at home in the Bundesliga.

The Congolese striker completed a one-man counterattack by running 80 meters from the edge of his own penalty area, beating two opposing players and scoring his 11th goal of the season on Friday. It was Stuttgart's first win at home in nine attempts.

Stuttgart remained 10th, while Mainz stayed just three points above last-placed Schalke. Agencies
