BVB Secures Decisive Round-One Victory Behind Inácio's Brace

Borussia Dortmund advanced to the second round of the DFB-Pokal with a 5-0 victory over Oberliga side Hamburg Eimsbütteler Ballspiel Club (4-0 at half). The fifth division team held on to a 0-0 tie for half an hour in front of a record crowd of 45,917 at Volksparkstadion but was ulimtaley overpowered by its Bundesliga opponent. Samuele Inácio (two goals), Daniel Svensson and Fábio Silva found the net for BVB, which had opened the scoring on an own goal.

With Hamburg area native Alexander Meyer in goal and a total of seven lineup changes from the Bundesliga match against HSV (2-0 win), BVB dominated the game and created early chances — including three narrow misses by Inácio — but initially operated too predictably while lacking attacking urgency and dynamism around the Oberliga team’s penalty area.

For over half an hour, the side from Hamburg's Eimsbüttel district bravely resisted countless BVB attacks. However, Borussia took the lead in the 33rd minute, courtesy of an own goal by team captain Wrede. Julian Ryerson, BVB’s top assist man from the previous Bundesliga season, was instrumental in the buildup and also played provider on two of Dortmund's next three goals before halftime. Svensson, who ventured forward throughout the match, converted a Ryerson cross three minutes after the opening netter, followed by Inácio's first-ever professional brace (41' & /45+2').

Regular starters Ryerson and Felix Nmecha remained in the locker room after the break and were replaced by Maxi Beier and Carney Chukwuemeka. Although he appeared to be offside, Fábio Silva extended his team's lead over the fifth division outfit to 5-0 (59'), following a pass by Veerman. The game subsequently lost much of its intensity. Nonetheless, with a 36-2 shot count as of the 85th minute, there could have easily been more goals.

The draw for the second round of the DFB-Pokal will begin around 5:55 p.m. CEST this coming Saturday (broadcast live in Germany on public TV station Das Erste).
