Tiago Tomás' Backheel Wonder Sends Stuttgart to German Cup Final Against Bayern

2 months ago·1 min

A stunning backheel goal from Tiago Tomás in the 119th minute sent Stuttgart to the German Cup final with a dramatic 2-1 extra-time victory over Freiburg on Thursday, setting up a Berlin showdown against Bayern Munich on May 23.

The Portugal forward twisted between two defenders to flick a pass from Badredine Bouanani past goalkeeper Florian Müller with his heel — a moment of individual brilliance that spared Stuttgart from a penalty shootout. Tomás celebrated shirtless, hoisting a corner flag in front of the crowd and accepting the inevitable yellow card without complaint.
