He was substituted on in the 81st minute in a 0–1 defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt. On 29 November 2008, Stindl scored his first Bundesliga goal against Hannover 96.

On 23 February 2017, Stindl scored a hat-trick at ACF Fiorentina's Stadio Artemio Franchi, as Borussia overturned a 0–3 aggregate deficit to qualify for the UEFA Europa League Round of 16.[9]

On 15 December 2020, Stindl scored a hat-trick against Eintracht Frankfurt in the Bundesliga. Two of the goals came after the 90th minute.[10]
