BERLIN (Reuters) - VfL Wolfsburg scored three times in 16 minutes to come back from a goal down to beat Borussia Dortmund 3-1 on Saturday and land their first German Cup final win, a fitting coronation after a hugely successful season.

The Wolves, who finished second in the Bundesliga, rallied after Dortmund had taken a fifth-minute lead on a sun-drenched day at the Olympic Stadium, venue of next week's Champions League final between Barcelona and Juventus.
