They never met face to face. They first confronted each other on the battlefield of Issus in 333 BCE. Their next encounter was the battle of Gaugamela in 331 BCE. Darius lost both, and was assassinated by his own nobility after the second one. Alexander, pursuing after the battle, got to see Darius' murdered corpse.
In both battles fought between Alexander III and Darius III, Alexander was the victor. This was due to the fact that Darius turned and ran both times, leaving his superior army leaderless and in disarray and Alexander was able to defeat the far larger Persian army. Alexander captured Darius's family during the first battle and he treated them as royalty instead of prisoners of war.
