Takuma Asano grabbed himself an assist as Vfb Stuttgrat beat E. Braunschweig 2-0 in their 2. Bundesliga game on Tuesday.

The goal was Stuttgart’s second, slotted home by Kevin Großkreutz after 64 minutes, in a game which saw Asano’s side dominate possession.

Although having fewer shots than their opponents (9 v 12), their accuracy made the difference and the result sees Stuttgart in second place as they chase promotion to the Bundesliga.

Asano was subbed off shortly after.

After hist first game he tweeted:

Translated, it says, roughly, “The first start. First victory. This is following the goal. Continue to do my best!”
