In the final of DFB-Pokal, Dortmund defeated RB Leipzig 4-1 at the Olympiastadion to win the trophy for the first time since 2017. Jadon Sancho and Erling Haaland have fired Borussia to Dortmund to their fifth DFB Pokal crown by scoring in a final victory over RB Leipzig.
Sancho opened the scoring in Thursday’s final after just five minutes when he cut in on his right foot from the far side of the box and curled an unstoppable effort past Peter Gulacsi in the Leipzig net. Dortmund found themselves 2-0 up just before the hour mark, with Haaland producing a trademark finish after outmuscling Dayot Upamecano. Sancho grabbed his second just before the interval to leave Leipzig with a mountain to climb, tapping in from close range after being teed up by Marcos Reus. Olmo gave Leipzig hope of a comeback with a stunning strike from 25 yards in the 71st minute, but BVB ultimately closed the game out via a mishit Haaland effort three minutes from time to secure the title.
