The match saw Florian Wirtz shine with a goal in each half, propelling Leverkusen to a dominant win. Leverkusen, known for their late dramatic wins, displayed total control throughout the game against their second-division opponents.
Jeremie Frimpong opened the scoring early on, followed by Amine Adli adding another goal to the tally. Adli, with five goals, is currently the top scorer in the cup this season.

With aspirations of clinching major titles, Leverkusen aims to fulfil their fans’ desires after years of anticipation. The team’s midfielder expressed their commitment to making the fans’ dreams a reality, emphasizing the significance of reaching the final.
Although Leverkusen claimed the German Cup in 1993, they have since finished as runners-up three times. With a comfortable lead in the Bundesliga, Leverkusen is eyeing their first league title. Wirtz expressed joy in celebrating the victory with the fans and making them happy.
Amid transfer speculations surrounding Wirtz, who is a key player for Leverkusen, the focus remains on relishing the current achievement rather than discussing future plans.
