Andras Schafer, a midfielder for Hungary, was sent off for a knee-high tackle shortly after Union fell behind 2-0, which did not assist the team. They are now 14th on the table.
Stuttgart has emerged as the surprise team of the Bundesliga season after years of being embroiled in dogfights for relegation.
