When Stuttgart's cup heroes storm the coach's press conference, it gets wet and loud

VfB Stuttgart has won the DFB Cup for the fourth time in its club history. In the final in Berlin, the Bundesliga club defeated surprise finalist and third-division champions Arminia Bielefeld 4-2 (3-0).

After the match, the Stuttgart cup heroes stormed coach Sebastian Hoeneß's press conference with the trophy. Hoeneß was showered with champagne and abruptly cut the press conference short: "Have a nice evening, everyone."

The Swabians had previously dominated Bielefeld for a long time in an extremely one-sided match before the final thriller finally arrived. Stuttgart wrote a glorious new chapter in club history with its first DFB Cup triumph in 28 years. With a 4-2 (3-0) victory against Arminia, who were completely overwhelmed in the first half, coach Hoeneß's VfB halted the impressive run of the second division newcomers, whose hopes of a title coup at the Olympic Stadium had been dashed early on.

Goals from Nick Woltemade (15th minute), Enzo Millot (22nd minute), and Deniz Undav (28th minute) laid the foundation for the triumph. The Swabians initially showed a class difference to one of the biggest final underdogs in cup history in front of 74,036 spectators. VfB dominated almost at will and added another after the break with Millot's second goal (66th minute).

In the 82nd minute, a Bielefeld player also made cup history: Julian Kania scored the equalizer for Arminia, the first goal by a third-division team in a DFB-Pokal final. And then, suddenly, the score was 2-4 after an own goal by Josha Vagnoman (85th).
