In a thrilling DFB-Pokal encounter, Wout Weghorst's 90th-minute header sealed a 2-1 victory for Wolfsburg over Borussia Dortmund on Wednesday, sending the Black and Yellows crashing out in the second round.

Dortmund, struggling for form in the Bundesliga, took the lead through Marco Reus in the 25th minute. However, Wolfsburg fought back, with Lukas Nmecha equalizing in the 62nd minute.

Wind's Heroics

As the match entered its closing stages, it was Wind who emerged as the hero for Wolfsburg. The Danish forward rose highest to meet Renato Steffen's cross and power a header past Dortmund goalkeeper Gregor Kobel.

The late winner sent the Volkswagen Arena into raptures and piled further misery on Dortmund, who have now lost three of their last four matches in all competitions.
