Maxi Beier, the 23-year-old midfielder, was named 'man of the match' in the match against Stuttgart. Playing in the attacking half-space behind Serhou Guirassy, Beier converted a cross from substitute Jobe Bellingham in the 70th minute, giving Borussia Dortmund a 1-0 lead. His coach, Niko Kovac, praised Beier's performance, stating, "Life writes the best stories.
Maxi Beier isn't with the national team, but today he scores the goal." Despite not being nominated for the October international matches by Germany coach Jürgen Klopp, Beier showcased his skills with the most shots (three) and sprints (24) among all players in the match. He also contributed to two goals and assists this season, totaling 12 goal contributions.
Kovac remarked on Beier's versatility, noting that he can play various positions including left-back, right-back, left wing, and right wing. Beier had a close chance to score a brace early in the game, heading a cross from Julian Ryerson wide. However, he was narrowly kept off balance by Stuttgart's defensive leader Jeff Chabot in the final moments.
