Werder Bremen clinched a narrow 1-0 victory over Darmstadt 98 in this DFB Pokal encounter. The pivotal moment came in the second half with a goal scored at 1:33:45, underlining Bremen's ability to capitalize on opportunities when it mattered. Despite a relatively even distribution of fouls—11 for Bremen and 10 for Darmstadt—the hosts displayed a more disciplined approach, evidenced by zero offsides compared to Darmstadt’s two, allowing Bremen to maintain pressure without interruption.

The match was a testament to Bremen’s defensive organization and tenacity. Darmstadt failed to register any corner kicks during the match, indicating their struggle to penetrate Bremen’s defensive line effectively. Bremen's defense not only limited Darmstadt’s advances but also remained composed under pressure, allowing zero goals and facilitating a strategic counter-attack that produced the match-winning goal.

Bremen’s control of the game was further demonstrated through their set-piece opportunities, achieving five corner kicks. However, they had to manage aggression, reflected in four yellow cards—hinting at their aggressive but effective disruption of Darmstadt’s gameplay. Darmstadt's two yellow cards were indicative of their attempts to stifle Bremen's advances, yet they lacked the cutting edge needed to translate defensive play into offensive success, underlining their need for more incisive play and execution in future matches.
