Stuttgart crushed the biggest German fairytale and won the Cup

Arminia Bielefeld's fairytale is over, as Stuttgart was ruthless and secured the German Cup with four goals.

The DFB-Pokal final got off to a lively start at the Olympiastadion in Berlin, with Stuttgart delivering a dominant first-half performance to take full control against Arminia Bielefeld.

Arminia came close to an early lead in the 12th minute when Noah Joel Sarenren Bazee unleashed a quick shot inside the box, only to be denied by the crossbar.

Just three minutes later, Stuttgart punished that missed chance. In the 15th minute, Nick Woltemade opened the scoring after a precise through ball from Angelo Stiller. Woltemade kept his composure and finished clinically to make it 1–0. You can see the goal HERE!

Stuttgart doubled their lead in the 22nd minute, as Deniz Undav teed up Enzo Millot, who calmly slotted the ball into the bottom left corner from close range. The goal is HERE!

The onslaught continued in the 28th minute when Angelo Stiller turned provider once again, finding Deniz Undav in the box. Undav took a moment to settle before firing low into the same corner, extending the lead to 3–0. You can see the goal HERE!

The second half of the DFB-Pokal final at Olympiastadion Berlin offered a mix of missed chances, stunning strikes, and late drama, but Stuttgart's first-half dominance was enough to carry them to the trophy.

Early in the half, both teams squandered great opportunities—Chris Fuhrich fired over from close range in the 54th minute, and just a minute later, Arminia’s Joel Grodowski failed to convert a one-on-one, blasting over the bar.

Stuttgart responded clinically in the 66th minute. Enzo Millot struck again, this time with a composed finish from the edge of the area that clipped the post on its way in, making it 4–0 and seemingly putting the game to bed.

However, Arminia Bielefeld refused to give in. Stefano Russo tested Alexander Nubel with a thunderous effort in the 75th minute, but the Stuttgart keeper reacted brilliantly to tip it away.

The underdogs finally got on the board in the 82nd minute through Julian Kania, who finished with class after a sharp assist from Christopher Lannert. You can see the goal HERE!

Then, just three minutes later, Arminia pulled another back when Josha Vagnoman, under pressure, inadvertently headed the ball into his own net to make it 4–2. The goal is HERE!
