These four ties produced distinct routes to a winning result. Dortmund lost a two-goal lead before restoring it in stoppage time; Leipzig waited until the 78th minute to equalise and went ahead four minutes later. Augsburg’s early advantage was erased before two later goals settled their tie. Frankfurt, meanwhile, assembled three goals in a nineteen-minute second-half spell before Hamburg replied. Treating all four victories as the same kind of performance would obscure the useful detail. The individual records below preserve the timing of each change rather than reducing the evening to a list of successful clubs.
