Bielefeld smashes Bremen: Dramatic DFB Cup victory in the last minute!
On August 17, 2025, Werder Bremen fans experienced a bitter end in the DFB Cup. In a thrilling encounter, Arminia Bielefeld beat the Bundesliga club and sent them out of the competition. Referee Robert Hartmann kicked off the game at 8:45 p.m., but it was already clear in the first half that it would be a tough fight for Bremen.
In the first 45 minutes, Bremen controlled the game and had some promising goalscoring moments, but still failed to capitalize on them. Despite the greater possession of the ball, Bremen remained harmless offensively. The first 45 minutes ended with three minutes of added time and the hope that the team could improve after the half-time break.
Turnaround in the game
However, the turning point came early in the second period: Bittencourt saw a yellow-red card, bringing Bielefeld back into the game. This proved to be crucial as the hosts made effective use of their superiority. In the 90th +6 minute, Young scored the much celebrated opening goal for Arminia, which turned the mood in the stadium on its head.
Bielefeld's coach Kniat, who was also targeted by the referee during the game and received a yellow card, was relieved after the game. His team, currently leaders in the 2nd Bundesliga and unbeaten in 16 competitive games, proved once again that they can hold their own against stronger opponents.
Debut and outlook
Another highlight of the evening was Mbangula's competitive debut for Bielefeld, who fit in well despite the tense game. Werder Bremen, on the other hand, clearly still has a lot of work to do, especially after a pre-season in which the team only scored two goals in friendly matches. Despite the disappointing cup defeat, the challenge of improving league performance remains.
In summary, it can be said that Bielefeld has taken another step with this victory, while Werder Bremen has to reorient itself.
