Mainz celebrated the most lopsided victory and advancement, defeating the small “Gallic” village of Krieschof—with a population of 500— a fifth-division team (NOFV-Oberliga Sud). The visitors scored five goals in each half, with Tietz emerging as the MVP with four goals.
Both Dynamo Dresden and Freiburg secured their spots in the second round of the tournament with lopsided scores, celebrating away victories of 6-0 over Westfalia Rhenern and 5-1 over Fortuna Düsseldorf, respectively.
