Two goals from Vedad Ibisevic have put Stuttgart in command of their Europa League qualifying tie against Dynamo Moscow.

Both sides struggled to create any goalscoring chances of note during the opening 45 minutes, with both defences staying firm.

However, with 72 minutes on the clock, Bosnian international Ibisevic reacted quickest inside the area to put his German employers in front.

It looked as though the tie was going to end that way until Ibisevic struck again deep in stoppage time to give Stuttgart a two-goal advantage heading into next week's return leg in the Russian capital.
