With Alexander Meyer, who was born just outside Hamburg, in goal and a total of seven changes to the lineup compared to the Bundesliga match against HSV (2:0), BVB controlled the game and created chances early on – Inacio three times, all three narrowly wide – but initially lacked directness overall. The power play around the Oberliga side’s penalty area was too slow and too predictable at first.
For more than half an hour, Eimsbüttel defended countless BVB attacks with great effort before Borussia took the lead in the 33rd minute, of all things through an own goal by captain Wrede. Julian Ryerson, BVB’s top provider in the previous Bundesliga season, set up that goal – and also the next three before half-time. Svensson, who repeatedly pushed out of the back three and was often found far up the pitch, bundled a Ryerson cross over the line three minutes after the opener, and Inacio then grabbed his first professional brace (41st/45+2).
Regular starters Ryerson and Felix Nmecha stayed in the dressing room after the break and were replaced by Maxi Beier and Carney Chukwuemeka. Fabio Silva made it 5:0 against the fifth-tier side in the 59th minute after being played in by Veerman from a position that looked suspiciously offside. The intensity of the game was no longer at its highest after that. Even so, with the shot count at 36:2 by the 85th minute, there were still plenty of chances to add to the score.
The draw for the second round of the cup will take place as early as next Saturday from around 5:55 p.m. (live on Das Erste).
