Borussia Mönchengladbach avoided becoming the first team in Bundesliga history to lose seven straight games to start the season, thanks to a 3-2 win at Stuttgart on Friday.
United States defender Joe Scally led the way for Gladbach with a goal and an assist as they got their long-awaited first points of the campaign.

Gladbach came into the game with a club record goals against tally of minus-20 after six games, and they looked set for a seventh straight loss when they went behind after six minutes through Ermedin Demirović.
However, in one of the turnarounds of the Bundesliga so far, Scally's fourth goal of the season via a deft backheel brought Gladbach level seven minutes before halftime. Shuto Machino then gave the visitors the unlikeliest of leads six minutes into the second period.
Having set up Gladbach's second goal, Wael Mohya made sure of the points with a header from a Scally cross midway through the second half. It was the 17-year-old's second goal in two games.
Demirović pulled a goal back for the home side with seven minutes left but it was not enough.
"It's an amazing feeling to finally get our first win of the season," Mohya said. "We came here determined to get something from the game, so I'm absolutely delighted that we managed to do that.
"Being able to help the team with an assist and a goal makes it even better. The coach always tells us to fight and give everything for the team. Today we saw that all that hard work pays off. We need to build on this performance and take the momentum into the next few games."
Despite the win, Gladbach remain at the foot of the Bundesliga table. Stuttgart are 14th, ahead of the rest of the weekend's action.
