The DFB Pokal encounter between Dynamo Dresden and Darmstadt 98 unfolded into a thrilling 2-3 victory in favor of the visitors, Darmstadt 98. The match was a well-balanced affair, with both teams showing offensive intent, reflected in the five total goals scored. Dynamo Dresden leveraged their attacking opportunities significantly, as evidenced by an impressive tally of 20 corner kicks. However, their inability to convert more of these set-piece situations into goals may have contributed to their eventual loss.

Darmstadt 98, while less frequent in earning corner kicks with only five, showed clinical finishing when opportunities presented themselves. This was evident in their progression of goals, with the first coming just shy of the one-hour mark, and the winner secured during extra time. Their efficiency in front of the goal was a decisive factor in overcoming the high-pressure situation imposed by Dresden's persistent assaults.

The game was played with a controlled level of discipline from both sides. A moderate total of nine fouls (four for Dresden and five for Darmstadt) indicates a match played with strategic restraint. Although both teams received two yellow cards each, Dynamo Dresden’s second yellow came after significant corner-kick pressure failed to yield a win, showcasing Darmstadt's resilience and defensive steadiness. This balance of disciplined play amidst offensive pressure and tactical efficiency in using critical chances allowed Darmstadt to emerge victorious in this tightly contested fixture.
