Burkardt added the second in the 71st minute and substitute Younes Ebnoutalib scored in the 75th. Hamburg striker Terem Moffi replied in the 79th.

Frankfurt coach Adi Hütter used a 4-2-3-1 formation for the first time in a competitive match this season. Maluze replaced Lilian Brassier, who had minor knee discomfort, and Mario Götze and Uzun started instead of Noel Aseko and Ebnoutalib. Atubolu made his Frankfurt cup debut.
