Stuttgart U19 and 1860 Munich U19 share six-goal draw

VfB Stuttgart U19 and TSV 1860 Munchen U19 played out a thrilling 3-3 draw in the GER JBH under-19 competition on 17 October 2026. The 20:00 fixture delivered six goals, several lead changes and a finish that reflected the open, attacking nature of the contest.

Both sides showed why youth football can be so compelling: quick transitions, brave defending and moments of real quality in the final third. The point keeps both teams moving in the GER JBH standings, but each will feel they could have taken all three.

Match overview

Stuttgart started strongly and used their wide players to stretch the 1860 Munich defence. The home side’s early pressure produced the opening goal, but 1860 Munich responded well and grew into the game as the first half wore on.

The second half followed a similar pattern. Stuttgart repeatedly moved ahead, only for 1860 Munich to find an equaliser. Neither defence looked fully comfortable against direct running, and the match remained open right to the final whistle.

Key moments

• 17 minutes: Stuttgart U19 took the lead through a well-worked move down the left, finished at the near post.
• 32 minutes: TSV 1860 Munchen U19 equalised after a quick break and a composed finish inside the area.
• 45+2 minutes: Stuttgart restored their advantage just before half-time with a header from a corner.
• 58 minutes: 1860 Munich levelled again, capitalising on a loose ball in the box.
• 74 minutes: Stuttgart scored their third after a flowing counter-attack and a low cross into the six-yard box.
• 87 minutes: 1860 Munich found a late equaliser, turning in a cross from the right to make it 3-3.

Tactical story

Stuttgart U19 looked to control possession and create overloads in wide areas. Their full-backs pushed high, and the midfield rotated well to create passing lanes. The downside was the space left behind when attacks broke down, which 1860 Munich exploited with direct running.

1860 Munich were at their best in transition. They pressed in short bursts and looked to release their forwards quickly rather than build slowly. That approach produced three goals, but it also left them exposed at the back, particularly from set pieces and crosses into the box.

Standout performers

Stuttgart’s attacking midfielders caused problems throughout, combining well in tight spaces and delivering dangerous set pieces. For 1860 Munich, the centre-forward was a constant threat, holding the ball up and bringing others into play. Both goalkeepers made important saves despite the high scoreline.

What the result means

The draw gives both teams a point in the GER JBH under-19 table and underlines how competitive the age group can be. Stuttgart will be frustrated to concede late, while 1860 Munich will take encouragement from their persistence and ability to respond three times.
