The UEFA Europa League fixture between West Ham United and Freiburg held at the London Stadium on 14th March ended in a one-sided affair with the Hammers absolutely outclassing their German counterparts with a thumping 5-0 victory. The factors influencing the final scoreline are embedded deep in the match's statistics reflecting the English side's superior performance on the pitch.

Aloof analysis of the goal-scoring performance reveals West Ham's effective attacking tactics. Three different individuals found the back of the net: Lucas Paqueta kicked off the goal parade 08:25 minutes into the first half, followed by Jarrod Bowen and Aaron Cresswell, while Mohammed Kudus locked in the win with two goals, all of the goals unresponded by Freiburg. This illustrates a well-distributed attacking lineup and capability of the Hammers.

Jarrod Bowen demonstrated exceptional form not only by scoring the second goal but also by assisting twice, including the very crucial third goal scored by Cresswell in the second half, and Kudus's final nail in the coffin. He certainly played the defining role in West Ham’s domineering performance. Tomas Soucek also deserves recognition for assisting the first goal, giving West Ham the early lead and advantage.

The significant disparity in fouls committed by the teams with 13 made by West Ham versus six from Freiburg is suggestive of West Ham’s possession superiority and persistent pursuit to gain control.

With no offsides recorded by either team and no red cards awarded, the match undoubtedly focused more on scoring strategies, something which West Ham mastered excellently.
