Stuttgart lifted the fourth German Cup in its history. In front of club legend Krasimir Balakov, the team defeated Arminia Bielefeld 4:2 in the dispute for the trophy, played traditionally at the Olympiastadion in Berlin.

Stuttgart killed the intrigue with three goals within less than a quarter of an hour of play. Nick Voltemade set the tone with an opening goal in the 15th minute, before Enzo Millot and Deniz Undav also scored. Arminia paid the price for its mistakes. After the break, Millot made the score 4:0. In the end the Bielefeld team rallied and returned two goals. Julian Kanya and an own goal by Josha Vagnoman shaped the final score.

Thus, Stuttgart ended the Arminia fairytale. They eliminated four elite teams on the way to the final. The team won promotion and will play in Bundesliga 2 next season.

For Stuttgart, who has guaranteed participation in the Europa League, this is the fourth cup and their first since 1997, when the team defeated Energie Cottbus 2:0 in the final with goals from Giovane Elber. In addition to him, the names of Balakov and Fredi Bobic were also visible in the lineup. Elber and Bobic were also in the company of Balakov in the stands in Berlin. | BGNES
