In their trip to Wolfsburg in the last 32 of the DFB-Pokal, the “Yellow and Black” failed to win in 90 minutes, forcing extra time into extra time, and it was the home side, Wolfsburg, who scored the winning goal in the 117th minute when Jonas Wind’s shot was passed to him by Thiago Thomas in the penalty area.

After 120 minutes, Wolfsburg edged out a 1-0 win and successfully entered the last 16, while Dortmund were quickly eliminated and have lost three games in a row in all competitions.

Coach Nuri Şahin’s Yellow and Blacks have a tough job ahead of them as they return to the league to face RB Leipzig before heading to the Champions League to face Austrian side Sturm Graz in the middle of next week.
