Sancho & Haaland fire Dortmund to fifth DFB Pokal crown with victory over RB Leipzig

Jadon Sancho and Erling Haaland have fired Borussia to Dortmund to their fifth DFB Pokal crown by scoring in a final victory over RB Leipzig.

Dortmund ran out 3-1 winners at the Olympiastadion to win the trophy for the first time since 2017.

Sancho scored twice to complement Haaland's strike in the first half and give Dortmund a commanding 3-0 lead, and Leipzig were unable to fight their way back into the game despite Dani Olmo getting his name on the scoresheet midway through the second period.

Sancho opened the scoring in Thursday's final after just five minutes when he cut in on his right foot from the far side of the box and curled an unstoppable effort past Peter Gulacsi in the Leipzig net.
