Energy: Lübeck ran over three kilometres more (118.5 vs. 115.2) – very impressive for a fourth-tier team. The Regionalliga side also completed more sprints (227 vs. 205).
One-sided: BVB clearly dictated proceedings, recorded 79.3% possession, playing 975 passes and successfully completing 925 of them.
Present: Niklas Süle fell just short of registering 200 touches of the ball (195).
First goal: Julien Duranville, who is 18 years young, scored his first competitive goal for the BVB first team. He was playing his first cup tie (fourth competitive match) for BVB.
Strong debut: Pascal Groß set up two of the three goals in the first period, touched the ball 91 times (fewer only than Süle) and completed a strong 82 of his 84 passes (rate: 98%). Groß lost only one challenge.
From the spot: Borussia Dortmund have converted every one of their last 13 penalties in the DFB-Pokal. The last Borussia player to miss was Ewerthon against Hannover 96 in November 2004. Emre Can converted his first spot-kick in the DFB-Pokal. He is also a safe shooter in the Bundesliga (seven out of seven).
Early lead: In the third minute, the Black & Yellows scored their earliest goal in the DFB-Pokal in almost 12 years. In December 2012, Mario Götze also scored in the third minute against Hannover 96 after receiving the ball from Kevin Großkreutz.
Through: Borussia got through the first round for the 19th time in succession, winning today and in the four previous seasons by at least three goals.
