Arminia Bielefeld Stuns Werder Bremen to Reach DFB-Pokal Semifinals

The third-division team eliminates its third Bundesliga opponent in a dramatic 2-1 victory, continuing its historic cup run.

  • Arminia Bielefeld defeated Werder Bremen 2-1 in the DFB-Pokal quarterfinals, marking the team's third consecutive victory against a Bundesliga club in this tournament.
  • The victory was secured through a first-half goal by Marius Wörl and an own goal by Bremen's Julian Malatini, with Bremen unable to recover despite a second-half goal by Oliver Burke.
  • Bielefeld's aggressive, high-pressing style and home-field advantage at the Schüco-Arena contributed significantly to their success, with fans creating an electric atmosphere.
  • This marks the fourth time in Arminia's history that the club has reached the DFB-Pokal semifinals, a feat last achieved in 2015 when the team was also in the third division.
  • Despite injuries to key players Roberts Uldrikis and Maximilian Großer, the financial windfall from the semifinal qualification is expected to bolster the club's long-term ambitions.
