The shot count from the opening half-hour might have been 8-0 in Bayern's favour, but the statisticians counted more shots for BVB (11-7) in the final 60 minutes. Here are the facts on the match in Munich.

Statistical superiority: BVB had more possession (52 percent) and completed more passes (543-487), as well as winning the majority of the challenges (61 percent).

Winning run over: BVB's 17-match winning run away from home in the DFB Cup, which dates back to February 2013 (quarter-final in Munich), is finally over.

Defensively solid: The Black & Yellows have only conceded nine goals in their last 27 away games in this competition.

Key figure: Shinji Kagawa has been involved in all five goals since Peter Stöger arrived (two in Mainz, two in Hoffenheim and one in Munich). He scored one goal (in Mainz) and has otherwise assisted or been involved in the move.

Cup classic: It is the seventh successive season that Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich have met in the DFB Cup – either in the Berlin showpiece or in a knockout tie at the Allianz Arena. At the Allianz Arena there have been two Bayern wins (2013 and 2017) and two Dortmund triumphs (2015 and 2017) during this period. All in all, it was the 12th Cup meeting between the sides – the most frequently played fixture in the competition – but only one of those games was played in Dortmund (BVB won on penalties in 1992).
