Bielefeld beats Bremen again in the DFB Cup – dramatic win in stoppage time!
On August 16, 2025, Arminia Bielefeld caused another surprise in the DFB Cup and defeated Werder Bremen in an exciting game. In front of 26,247 spectators at the sold-out Bielefelder Alm, the team from the 2nd Bundesliga won 1-0. The decisive goal came in injury time from Isiah Young, who took advantage of a counterattack to win.
Both teams started the game with a lot of steam. Bremen had their first opportunity in the 14th minute, but Marco Grüll was unable to take advantage of the chance. However, Arminia showed a biting attitude and came into the game better after an injury substitution in the 20th minute for Tim Handwerker, who had to leave the field with an injury. Bremen took more and more control over the course of the first half, but remained goalless.
Cards and opportunities
The turning point came in the 54th minute: Leonardo Bittencourt was shown a yellow-red card for a foul, which put Bremen outnumbered. Bielefeld took advantage of this to put more pressure on the Bremen goal. In the 82nd minute, Jonas Kersken parried a shot from Grüll and kept Bielefeld's hopes of victory alive. The decisive counterattack came when Benjamin Boakye passed the pass to Young, who sent the net floundering in the final minute.
With this victory, Bielefeld has now recorded a total of three cup successes against Werder Bremen. It is also significant that Bremen were eliminated in the quarter-finals last season and in the round of 16 against the same team in 2015. So Bielefeld seems to be a real cup scare for Werder.
Conclusion
Werder's coach and players now face the challenge of learning from this defeat. After all, the DFB Cup is a highly competitive competition in which there is no room for small mistakes. Bielefeld, on the other hand, can look forward to a successful start to the cup season and will go into the coming rounds with confidence.
