Overview

  • Arminia substitute Isaiah Young scored in stoppage time to seal a 1:0 win over Werder Bremen in the opening round of the DFB-Pokal.
  • Leonardo Bittencourt’s second yellow card in the 54th minute left Bremen with ten men and shifted momentum toward the hosts.
  • A sold-out Bielefelder Alm crowd of 26,247 roared the second-division side on as it pressed relentlessly after the dismissal.
  • The victory extends Bielefeld’s streak to six consecutive home wins against higher-tier opponents in the cup and marks their third recent triumph over Bremen.
  • Bielefeld remains top of the early 2. Liga standings and reached the second round while spoiling Horst Steffen’s competitive debut as Bremen coach.
