Leipzig's Two-Year German Cup Reign Ends with 1-0 Loss to Wolfsburg

Václav Černý's early goal aids Wolfsburg, Leipzig reduced to 10 men as forward Yussuf Poulsen sent off in second half.

Leipzig's two-year reign of the German Cup ended after a 1-0 loss to Wolfsburg on October 31, 2023. Wolfsburg's Václav Černý scored in the 14th minute.
Leipzig's forward, Yussuf Poulsen, was sent off in the second half after receiving a second booking, reducing the team to 10 men.
Leipzig had a successful run in the German Cup, reaching the final four out of the last five seasons and winning the last two. Their exit this early is a first since a loss to Bayern Munich in the 2017-18 season.
Stuttgart ended Union Berlin's chances in the German Cup, with Stuttgart winning 1-0. This marks Union Berlin's 11th consecutive loss across all competitions.
Bundesliga clubs Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, and Bayer Leverkusen had games scheduled for November 1, with Bayern's match against Saarbruecken potentially in doubt due to a waterlogged field.
