Impact Karazor had a busy day in midfield against Paris and delivered a solid performance, setting two season highs with six tackles and three chances created. Unfortunately, his efforts weren't enough as his team suffered a heavy loss to a Parisian side that was in top form for the final Champions League game of the regular season.

Alexander Nubel - Concedes pair Nubel had two saves and allowed two goals in Saturday's 2-0 loss to Mainz.

Impact Nubel faced four shots and conceded two, coming away with a disappointing loss against Mainz. It's a rough loss for a variety of reasons, but it now puts Stuttgart's spot in the top four in danger. Nubel has been excellent with a very tough schedule, but this was a performance he will want back, as he wasn't overwhelmed with volume.

Josha Vagnoman - Creates pair of chances Vagnoman recorded three crosses (one accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 2-0 defeat to Mainz.

Impact Vagnoman created a pair of chances during Saturday's loss, but failed to get much else going throughout the loss. The right-back has been impressive when called upon, though he's certainly an attacking full-back. Vagnoman will be tested extensively in the coming weeks as Stuttgart enter one of the toughest stretches of the season.

Atakan Karazor - Busy defensively Karazor generated five tackles (five won) in Saturday's 2-0 loss against Mainz. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 57th minute.

Impact Karazor had everything to do behind the ball throughout Saturday's loss. He was consistently pinned back by the attacking midfielders of Mainz, and could never really link up with the attack. The midfielder did well throughout the match and did his duty in holding midfield but it wasn't enough to really turn the tide.
