VfL Wolfsburg celebrates historic 9-0 cup win under new coach!
Gigantic performance by VfL Wolfsburg in the DFB Cup! On August 16, 2025, in Bremen's Weserstadion, the team celebrated a brilliant 9-0 win against SV Hemelingen under their new coach Paul Simonis. For VfL, this is the highest cup victory in the club's history. On this memorable day, the focus was not only on the game, but also on the impressive performances of the players.
In an actual football battle, Dzenan Pejcinovic caught the spotlight, scoring three goals (53rd, 76th, 81st) and celebrating his starting debut with flying colors. Moritz Jenz (12th), Andreas Skov Olsen (14th), Lovro Majer (39th, penalty kick), Mattias Svanberg (61st, 71st) and Vaclav Cerny (72nd) also got on the scorers list. Captain Maximilian Arnold was enthusiastic about the performance of the entire team, while Simonis described the game as controlled and expressed his satisfaction with the performance.
Fame and injuries
Despite the great victory, Wolfsburg also had to accept a few injuries. Skov Olsen suffered an ankle injury, while Denis Vavro and Mohammed Amoura did not play due to thigh injuries. While Hemelingen celebrated its first DFB Cup participation after a successful season (Bremen champions and Bremen Cup winners), the gap to the favorites VfL Wolfsburg was simply too big that day.
The Hemelingen team had hoped to be able to play in their own stadium in Verden, but due to a lack of space the game was played in Bremen. The team could not withstand the pressure from Wolfsburg and was overwhelmed by the opponent's offense for long periods of the game. Wolfsburg dominated the action and didn't give Hemelinger any chance.
Outlook for the upcoming Bundesliga
With this impressive win behind them, Wolfsburg are now looking ahead to their upcoming Bundesliga game against Heidenheim on Saturday. VfL's soaring should continue and the fans are hoping for another strong performance. The fact that the new coach Simonis is making such a debut is a positive sign for the future of the club. After a Sunday shot like that, the season can only be exciting.
