Shio Fukuda and Marvin Wanitzek gave Karlsruhe an early lead inside the opening 13 minutes, with Fukuda taking the first, and Wanitzek adding a second from a clever lay-off. The hosts maintained their pressure, extending the lead to 2-0 just seven minutes later after Noel Eichinger's shot evaded the Darmstadt goalkeeper, allowing Fukuda to score. Darmstadt tried to mount a comeback, but Karlsruhe's defense remained strong, leaving them trailing two goals behind at halftime. In the second half, Christoph Kobald and Kevin Wiethaup scored for Karlsruhe in quick succession, extending their lead to 4-0.

For Darmstadt, the loss following their previous 3-1 win over Energie Cottbus was a tough setback, with defensive struggles in the early stages of the game proving costly.",
