The hoped-for cup miracle did not materialize. Third division Dynamo Dresden lost the exchange of blows against the favored Bundesliga club VfB Stuttgart 0:1 (0:1). Darko Churlinov gave the Swabians the lead in the 33rd minute. After a yellow-red card for Waldemar Anton (67th), VfB had to end the game outnumbered. In front of 22,644 spectators in the Rudolf Harbig Stadium, Dresden threw everything forward in the final phase, but missed the equalizer due to too many inadequacies.
In the opening minutes, the hosts managed to keep the game open. Even before Churlinov's goal (33'), the Swabians were about to take the lead. Michael Akoto (45.1) had the chance to equalize just before half-time. However, his close-range shot was blocked.
After the dismissal for the Stuttgart team and the substitutions of Paul Will and Christian Joe Conteh, Dynamo was the game-determining team. However, the crosses and passes into the penalty area often lack precision, which is why the equalizer was not scored despite the high pressure.
After the brilliant derby victory against SpVgg Greuther Fürth, 1. FC Nürnberg only managed the first task in the DFB Cup with difficulty and brought 1. FC Kaan-Marienborn in their game of the year to the hoped-for entry into the next round.

The district club from Siegen, which was only founded in 2007, had reached the first main round of the cup and now had to accept its first defeat in 2022.
The four-time cup winner started with a total of four changes. Coach Robert Klauss also made a change in goal and gave Carl Klaus a chance to prove himself. The guests needed some time to warm up in Siegerland and had good chances to score through Mats Moeller Daehli, Christoph Daferner and Kwadwo Duah, but it was Geis who put the visitors ahead with a converted free kick just before the break.
The regional league put up a long resistance, but could not overcome the Nuremberg defense. Valentini made the decision shortly before the end with a left-footed shot from the edge of the penalty area to make it 2-0.

At the Mecklenburg Oberliga club TSG Neustrelitz, the bottom of the table in the 2nd division won 8-0 (3-0) on Friday evening. In front of a good 3000 spectators, the outstanding Fabian Schleusener (12th/14th/41st) as well as Jerome Gondorf (67th), Malik Batmaz (71st), Daniel Gordon (73rd) and Simone Rapp (82nd/87th) scored. the goals for the KSC.

After the change, the three-time goalscorer missed two more good chances (55th/59th). Marcus Niemitz (60th) narrowly missed the top chance for a consolation goal for the brave Neustrelitzer. But on the opposite side of KSC against the much too open TSG defense again clearly.
