BERLIN (AP) — American coach Pellegrino Matarazzo’s Stuttgart team has denied Leipzig a winning start to the Bundesliga season by fighting back to draw 1-1. Naouirou Ahamada’s first goal for Stuttgart since joining from Juventus in 2020 earned the home team a point and frustrated the visitors. Leipzig made a good start with Christopher Nkunku opening the scoring in the eighth minute. But Ahamada equalized in the 31st. Promoted Schalke plays Cologne later Sunday.
