Berlin authorities to investigate admission issues at Cup final
Police stand in front of the stands with the Bielefeld fans during the German DFB Cup final soccer match between Stuttgart and Arminia Bielefeld at the Olympiastadion. Sebastian Gollnow/dpa The Berlin senate administration is to investigate the incidents at the German Cup final last week following massive accusations from Arminia Bielefeld fans over poorly organized admission controls at the game. However, the authority sees the German Football Federation (DFB) as responsible for the potentially dangerous events. Advertisement "As the organizer of the German Cup final, the DFB is responsible for the security concept," the senate administration said in a statement. "Allegations that there were issues during this year's German Cup final are being evaluated by the Olympiastadion Berlin GmbH and the DFB." Third-division side Bielefeld played their first-ever Cup final last Saturday in Berlin's Olympic stadium against VfB Stuttgart, but were defeated 4-2. Several Bielefeld supporters complained about the chaotic conditions in front of the entrance gates dedicated to them. Thousands of fans had to wait for hours to be admitted and had to stand tightly packed in front of the gates without being able to leave. Advertisement A possible mass panic among the fans was only avoided by their common sense and luck, they said. Bielefeld said of the situation: "It is incomprehensible to us and in no way acceptable that such serious inconveniences occurred at the most important match in the club's history and one of the biggest events in German professional football." The DFB had already apologized for the issues, expressed its dismay and announced that it would investigate the matter. There were no complaints from Stuttgart fans, who had a different dedicated entrance. The German Cup final has been held in Berlin's Olympic stadium since 1985. This year's match was sold out with 74,036 spectators.

Stuttgart win German Cup
BERLIN: Stuttgart withstood a late fightback from underdogs Arminia Bielefeld to claim the German Cup in Berlin on Saturday, holding on for a 4-2 victory despite conceding twice in the final 10 minutes. Goals from Nick Woltemade, Enzo Millot and Deniz Undav had Stuttgart three up inside 28 minutes and cruising against Bielefeld, just the fourth third division side to make the final in the competition's 82-year history. Millot added a second with 66 minutes and Stuttgart looked to have the job done, but a Julian Kania strike and a Josha Vagnoman own goal with the clock ticking down made Stuttgart sweat. They however held on to claim their fourth German Cup and their first since 1997, when the then Joachim Loew-coached side again triumphed against third-flight opponents Energie Cottbus. 'I'm completely exhausted. The emotions are running high. I can't even put it into words,' Stuttgart defender Maximilian Mittelstaedt, who was born and raised in Berlin, told TV network ZDF. 'I think this is the most wonderful feeling you can have. I'm overwhelmed.' Undav echoed the sentiments, saying 'the feeling is undescribable. We threw everything into it'. The win means Stuttgart, who finished ninth in the regular season, will join Freiburg in next season's Europa League. Stuttgart's Angelo Stiller shone in the middle of the park, setting up goals for his Germany teammates Woltemade and Undav, showing the passing prowess that has him earmarked as Toni Kroos' replacement. Bielefeld coach Michel Kniat said: 'When I look in the faces of the lads, I see some tears. Of course we're disappointed, but we can be proud, very proud, of our season.' Golden chance The trophy is also just rewards for Stuttgart coach Sebastian Hoeness, who took over with the club sitting dead last in April 2023 before guiding them to second place and a return to the Champions League last season. Bielefeld rode an underdog wave into the German capital, having beaten four first division sides on their way to the final including defending champions Bayer Leverkusen in the semis. Bielefeld however spurned a golden chance to open the scoring with 11 minutes played when unmarked Sarenren Bazee blasted his shot against the crossbar with an open goal beckoning. Stuttgart made Bazee and Bielefeld pay just four minutes later. Stiller threaded the ball to Woltemade, who shed his defender and guided it home. The goal rattled Bielefeld and Stuttgart took advantage, scoring again in the 22nd minute through Millot. Stiller kickstarted a counter in his own half and Undav took advantage of a defensive mishap, collecting the ball on the halfway line and marching goalwards before finding Millot to tap into an empty net. Stiller again created Stuttgart's third, sliding a ball to the feet of the onrushing Undav, who placed the ball in the bottom corner. With the red and white half of the 74,000-strong Olympic Stadium already celebrating a pending cup victory, Stuttgart took their foot off the pedal as Bielefeld tried to limit the damage. When Millot scored his second with 66 minutes played, the France midfielder removed his shirt, jumped a fence and ran towards the crowd at the Stuttgart end, knowing victory was surely theirs. Bielefeld gave their supporters something to celebrate when Kania scored with 82 minutes gone; the goal was the first scored by a third-flight side in a German Cup final. Three minutes later, Bielefeld pressed Vagnoman into an own goal, which silenced the Stuttgart fans. Bielefeld pushed and won repeat corners deep in injury time but were unable to cut the gap further and Stuttgart held on. Stuttgart now have four German Cups. Only five sides—Bayern Munich, Werder Bremen, Eintracht Frankfurt, Borussia Dortmund and Schalke—have won more. — AFP

Stuttgart beat Arminia Bielefeld 4-2 to clinch German Cup
VfB Stuttgart beat third-tier Arminia Bielefeld 4-2 with a double from Enzo Millot to lift the German Cup for the first time in 28 years on Saturday (May 24, 2025), bringing relief for Sebastian Hoeness' side after a disappointing Bundesliga campaign. Goals from Nick Woltemade, Millot and Deniz Undav put Stuttgart 3-0 up at the break before Millot scored again to make it 4-0 after 66 minutes and effectively end the contest. Bielefeld did pull a goal back through substitute Julian Kania eight minutes from time before Stuttgart's Josha Vagnoman netted an own goal in the 85th but it was too little, too late. The win was Stuttgart's fourth German Cup success and earned a place in the Europa League's league phase. They finished the Bundesliga campaign ninth, two points off the European spots. They delivered a bitter ending to a fairytale run for Bielefeld, who stunned holders Bayer Leverkusen in April to reach the final for the first time. They eliminated three other Bundesliga teams in consecutive rounds in the competition. Bielefeld, who clinched the third division title last weekend, failed to crown their promotion back to Bundesliga 2 with another trophy. They were the fourth third-tier side to reach the German Cup final and first since Union Berlin in 2001. Bielefeld got off to a lively start and should have taken an early lead through Noah Sarenren Bazee, who smashed the ball against the bar from close range. Instead, Woltemade put Stuttgart in front after 15 minutes, beating goalkeeper Jonas Kersken with a low shot from the edge of the area. The 23-year-old forward received his first Germany call-up on Thursday ahead of the Nations League semi-final against Portugal on June 4. Millot doubled Stuttgart's lead on the counter-attack seven minutes later, scoring into an empty net after the ball was laid off to the 22-year-old midfielder by Undav, who added the third goal himself in the 28th by firing into the bottom corner. Millot scored his second after the break when he finished a solo run with a low shot inside the far post. Stuttgart captain Atakan Karazor thought he had a fifth following a corner but his header was ruled out for offside. Vagnoman's own goal, following Bielefeld's first from Kania, made for a somewhat nervy ending and Stuttgart keeper Alexander Nuebel had to save from substitute Lukas Kunze in stoppage time. Stuttgart last lifted the German Cup in 1997 when they beat third-tier Energie Cottbus 2-0.
