In Germany, the VfB Stuttgart made an exceptional run in the German Cup, winning a particularly intense match against the Eintracht Brunswick. After being led to the score, Stuttgart managed to return to the game thanks to Demirovic, but Brunswick again took the lead a few minutes from the end. The Stuttgart team seemed destined for a defeat, up to a spectacular Woltemade goal at the end of the game, offering an extension. The extensions were marked by an exchange of goals, leading to a thrilling shooting session.

It was Lorenz Assignon, the former Rennes player, who allowed Stuttgart to win the qualification thanks to a successful shot during the penalty session. This memorable match, one of the first for Assignon with his new club, testifies to his crucial contribution to the Stuttgart qualification. The intensity of the match and the performance of Assignon make it a key moment of the season for the player and for the German club.
