📊 Stuttgart hit Pokal milestone during first-half blitz in Berlin
Stuttgart will count their lucky stars in Berlin after Die Schwaben may have placed one hand on a piece of silverware as they lead 3-0 in the capital at the halftime a night when Sebastian Hoeneß and company look to secure their first major honour since 2006/07, star striker Nick Woltemade made no mistake in the penalty area when he cooly finished past Jonas Kersken to set Stuttgart away inside the opening 15 minutes. But it could have all been different thus far at the Olympiastadion when Bielefeld's Noah-Joel Sarenren-Bazee struck the crossbar with the goal gaping from inside six yards after a storming run from Joel Grodowski. Soon after Woltemade's opener, Stuttgart broke freely through Deniz Undav before he squared to Enzo Millot to double their advantage. 28 - VfB Stuttgart led 3-0 after 28 minutes - never before had a club scored three goals so early in a DFB Cup final. Kickstart. #DSCVfB #DFBPokalfinale — OptaFranz (@OptaFranz) May 24, 2025 Just minutes later, Undav would get his name on the scoresheet after being slipped through on goal by Angelo Stiller to pad the scoreline inside 30 minutes, making Stuttgart the first club to score three goals in a Pokal final in such rapid fashion. Can Hoeneß's troops see out the result for a much-needed trophy haul? 📸 TOBIAS SCHWARZ - AFP or licensors

📊 Gladbach ace joins Bundesliga legend in very exclusive club
Former French youth international forward Alassane Plea has become somewhat of a cult hero for Bundesliga giant Borussia Mönchengladbach, and his goalscoring efforts today only cement that status a standout at OGC Nice, the 32-year-old is amidst his seventh season in Gladbach, and though his goalscoring exploits are not what they once were, a hat-trick today at Werder Bremen has placed him alongside some illustrious company. 2x3 - Alassane Plea (two vs Bremen) is only the second player in Bundesliga history to score a hat-trick away to an opponent on more than one occasion, after Karl-Heinz Rummenige (two in Mönchengladbach). Wanderlust. — OptaFranz (@OptaFranz) March 15, 2025 Plea now can claim the honour of equaling German footballing icon Karl-Heinz Rummenigge of being just the second player to ever score two hat-tricks against the same opponent away from home. He may be off his career-best season in Gladbach colours but his crucial display in front of goal today could push the club back into Europe next season. 📸 Joern Pollex - 2025 Getty Images
