The final of the DFB Cup 2024/25 is. VfB Stuttgart followed the surprise team of Arminia Bielefeld in the final on Wednesday evening. The Swabians conquered RB Leipzig 3-1 in the regular season. After Angelo Stiller’s leadership gate, Nick Woltemade increased to 2-0 and took the top of the list of goal scorer in the competition in addition to Patrik Schick, who also met four times. After Benjamin Sesko’s meantime for Leipzig, Jamie Leweling increased to 3: 1.
Stiller had already brought his team to the winning road with a volley that was worth seeing in the 5th minute, Woltemade increased in the 57th minute. Leweling put the lid on 60,000 fans in the stadium in the 73rd minute. They also annoyed the excessive Red Bull football boss Jürgen Klopp in the stands. VfB was also allowed to thank the outstanding national goalkeeper Alexander Nübel that the first final in the final had been working for twelve years. Striker Benjamin Sesko could only shorten for the Leipzig (62nd). In the end, the Stuttgart Woltemade and the Leipzig Sesko still met the crossbar.
In 1997 the Swabians most recently celebrated the title that it was the third after 1958 and 1954. With a final success, the hope of the renewed participation in the European Cup would also come true. In the Bundesliga, VfB has currently been passed down to eleventh. RB, cup winner from 2022 and 2023, lacked efficiency. For the first time, the Saxons lost a semi-finals at the fifth preliminary round. The main focus of interim coach Zsolt Löw is now to lead the sixth in the season in the end of the season to the Champions League.
The VfB caught a dream start when the hosts’ first corner led to a goal from the Tor of the month. Middle Leaders of Stiller, half -right, hit the gate by a famous volley from around 18 meters. Leipzig’s cup goalkeeper Maarten Vandevoordt was surprised and did not react. The collective cheers at the Swabians were contrasting to the serious expressions of RB soccer boss Jürgen Klopp, the technical director of RB, ex-VFB striker Mario Gomez and RB supervisory board head Oliver Mintzlaff on the stands. On the side of Klopp, Löw will return to his role as chief strategist in the RB cosmos after the end of the season.
With increasing the course of the game, the Leipzigers were increasingly recovering from the early goal. Lois Openda forced VfB national goalkeeper Nübel in three scenes. And Xavi Simons also came to a promising conclusion. Klopp was carried away by the game, and again and again he rose from his place.
The game continued with intensity even after the change of sides. After a double pass with Ermedin Demirovic, U21 national striker Woltemade underlined his top form that has been ongoing for weeks. But just five minutes later, Sesko made it exciting again. Löw drove his team on the edge of the field. Leweling then poked the ball on the line.
