Stuttgart Beats Leipzig 3-1, Reaches German Cup Final

VfB Stuttgart secured a spot in the German Cup final with a 3-1 victory over RB Leipzig, marking their first final appearance in 12 years. Stuttgart's Angelo Stiller opened the scoring just six minutes into the match, followed by goals from Nick Woltemade and Jamie Leweling, while Leipzig's Benjamin Sesko responded with a goal to briefly reignite hopes. Stuttgart's goalkeeper Alexander Nübel was instrumental in the win, making several key saves to thwart Leipzig's attempts. The defeat for Leipzig came during the debut match for their interim coach Zsolt Löw, following the sacking of Marco Rose. Stuttgart will face third-division Arminia Bielefeld in the final, who earned their spot by defeating reigning champions Bayer Leverkusen. The victory continues Stuttgart's impressive form under coach Sebastian Hoeness, who has transformed the team's fortunes since his appointment.
