Overview

• Arminia Bielefeld overcame Bayer Leverkusen, the Bundesliga champions and German Cup holders, with goals from Marius Wörl and Maximilian Grosser after Jonathan Tah's early lead.
• The victory marks the first time in the club's history that Bielefeld has reached the German Cup final, joining only three other third-division teams to achieve this feat.
• Bielefeld's path to the final included wins over four Bundesliga teams—Union Berlin, SC Freiburg, Werder Bremen, and Leverkusen—a first for a third-tier side.
• The club's remarkable turnaround follows a near-relegation battle last season, with captain Mael Corboz highlighting the team's resilience and belief.
• Reaching the final guarantees significant financial gains for Bielefeld, with the potential for Europa League qualification if they win the final on May 24, 2025, against either RB Leipzig or VfB Stuttgart.
