Münster dominated the early stages, controlling close to 70% of the possession inside the opening 15 minutes, and came close to taking the lead through Zidan Sertdemir, whose dangerous effort flashed narrowly wide on the 20-minute mark.

Just five minutes after the restart, Münster thought they had broken the deadlock, only for the goal to be ruled out after the referee judged Bernat to have control of the ball before it was knocked loose, a decision that sparked frustration throughout the Preußenstadion. The match turned decisively ten minutes from time when Paul Jaeckel was sent off for bringing down Lilian Egloff following a mistake from Johannes Schenk. From the resulting free kick, Wanitzek curled a sublime effort over the wall and beyond Schenk, leaving the goalkeeper with no chance. Wanitzek then wrapped up the points three minutes from time.
