Randal Kolo Muani
The French striker scored two goals and assisted another in the victory, showing he is "getting better" at playing to his strengths.
Despite Darmstadt sitting a division below Frankfurt, the visitors were atop the Bundesliga 2 table and had only lost one game this season.
Frankfurt took the lead after just six minutes, with Kolo Muani scoring a perfectly weighted header that evaded the reach of Darmstadt keeper Marcel Schuhen.
The home side had a chance to double their lead, but Schuhen made a great save to block a shot from 2014 World Cup winner Mario Goetze.
Darmstadt then scored twice in two minutes to take the lead, but Frankfurt fought back and equalized just before halftime.
Kolo Muani helped reclaim the lead for the home side after 62 minutes, as he headed a cross into the path of Daichi Kamada, who hammered the ball into the net.
The French striker sealed the victory in the last minute of regular time, as Goetze found him in space and he side-footed the ball home.
Kolo Muani's performance was crucial for Frankfurt, as they advanced to the quarterfinals of the German Cup.
His recent form has been impressive, and he will be looking to continue his impressive run in upcoming matches.
