In the DFB Pokal competition on November 1, 2023, Borussia Dortmund managed to outwit TSG 1899 Hoffenheim with a 1-0 victory. The only goal of the match was scored in the first half, just over the 42-minute mark, which provided a lead that Dortmund maintained till the end of the game.

Based on the statistical data provided, it's clear that Borussia Dortmund remarkably had an upper hand in terms of corner kicks, securing six as compared to Hoffenheim's two. This showed the dominance Dortmund had regarding attacking plays. The higher number of corner kicks signifies that Dortmund was consequently more efficient in launching attacks into Hoffenheim's defence, leading to more scoring opportunities. However, Dortmund was limited to only one goal.

Contrarily, Hoffenheim did not make the most of their time in Dortmund's half, evidenced by the two offsides committed. This lack of precision meant they relinquished possession too often, resulting in less effective attacks. Interestingly, neither team was penalised with any yellow or red cards. This indicated a well-disciplined game from both teams preserving their numbers on the pitch.

Both teams were near parity when it came to fouls committed, Dortmund lodged five and Hoffenheim six. This shows a high intensity, closely contested battle between the two sides. It's significant to note that despite committing more fouls, Hoffenheim failed to capitalise on their aggressive approach.

Despite the match being a low scoring affair, Dortmund's early first-half goal combined with their effective use of corner kicks were pivotal factors that directly influenced the game's outcome. They displayed a better team performance overall, managing their game effectively post their successful goal, and demonstrating defensiveness by not being called offside during the entire match.

On the other hand, Hoffenheim's performance was lacking in precision and effectiveness in the final third, reflected by their offsides and failure to make use of opportunities, failing to score any goals. As a result, Borussia Dortmund secured a hard-fought 1-0 victory in this DFB Pokal encounter.
