Post-Match Report

Facts: Borussia assured from the penalty spot

120 minutes were not enough to separate the two teams. Eintracht Frankfurt posed more of a threat (17 shots on goal to BVB's 12), but Dortmund were more energetic. The Black & Yellows won 53% of the challenges, had slightly more possession (51%) and celebrated a milestone goal. Here are the match facts. 

From the spot: Borussia Dortmund have won eight of their 11 penalty shoot-outs in the DFB-Pokal.

Winning streak: Although BVB lost their first two cup matches against Eintracht (in 1969 and 1979), they have now won the last five.

Exchange of blows: After only seven shots on goal before the break (4-3 for Frankfurt), there were 16 shots after the break (10-6). In extra time, both teams levelled each other out (3-3 shots).

Double milestone: Borussia Dortmund have now scored 500 goals and 300 away goals in the DFB-Pokal.

Full house: Julian Brandt has scored in the DFB-Pokal (once), the Bundesliga (twice) and the UEFA Champions League (once) this season.

Efficient: The goal to make it 1-1 was Borussia's first shot on target.

Nico Schlotterbeck jubelt.

Flawless: Nico Schlotterbeck was the only player not to lose a tackle in the first half.

Landmark: Niklas Süle made his 100th competitive appearance for Borussia Dortmund.

Rare deficit: For the second time this season, BVB trailed at half-time (previously this happened in the Bundesliga away to Bayern Munich, also 1-0).

Young: BVB fielded their youngest starting XI under Niko Kovac (average age 25.7 years).

Back in the side: Aaron Anselmino started for the first time in two months after his injury (which he suffered on 31 August in the 3-0 win against Union in the Bundesliga) and for the second time in a BVB shirt. (br)
