In a nail-biting clash, Jonas Wind delivered a stunning last-minute goal to lead VfL Wolfsburg to a 1-0 victory over Borussia Dortmund in the German Cup second round. This defeat marks Dortmund's third consecutive loss in a span of a week.
Despite starting strong, with opportunities for Maximilian Beier and Serhou Guirassy, Dortmund struggled to break the deadlock and capitalize on their chances, allowing Wolfsburg to gain momentum in the later stages.
Notably, Tiago Thomas struck the woodwork in extra-time before Wind's decisive header, which was initially cleared by Ramy Bensebaini, secured the victory. Meanwhile, Bayer Leverkusen and RB Leipzig also advanced, but all eyes remain on Bayern Munich's upcoming match against Mainz 05.
