In an intensely contested match held on 15th April 2023 between 1.FC Magdeburg and Sandhausen in the 2.Bundesliga competition, Sandhausen emerged victorious with a final scoreline of 2-1. This game was surely a classic example of a hard-fought win, as vital statistics indicate the tough nature of the clash.

The first goal of the match came in fairly early at 00:24:25 from Sandhausen, setting the pace of the game in the first half, but they failed to maintain a clean slate as the team racked up a yellow card at 00:26:24. Nevertheless, they managed to maintain their lead throughout the first half.

The second half of the game was yet another uphill struggle for the home team, 1.FC Magdeburg, as Sandhausen scored their second goal at 01:05:32. The offence started taking a toll on Sandhausen’s discipline as within 32 minutes, they accumulated three more yellow cards (at 00:57:50, 01:22:18, and 01:30:43). They received a fifth yellow card at 01:32:35, pointing to a more aggressive, fouling strategy. Consequently, they committed 25 fouls, significantly higher than the home team's 10.

Despite this setback, the home team managed to pull back one goal at 01:28:20. However, their effort was not enough, and they fell to two yellow cards shortly after their goal at 01:14:45 and 01:22:11.

On aspects of set-piece play, both teams were nearly even, with Sandhausen taking a slight edge with 6 corner kicks compared to Magdeburg's 5. Interestingly, Sandhausen’s aggressive gameplay was also evident in the number of offside calls counted against them; 4 compared to the home team's 2.

In review, this match was laced with intense competition and physicality as demonstrated by Sandhausen's high foul count and their five yellow cards compared to 1.FC Magdeburg's two. This aggressive play proved fruitful for Sandhausen as they took and maintained an early lead to walk away with a win, but not without a considerable number of penalizations. A less aggressive, more controlled approach might be favourable for Sandhausen in the future. 1.FC Magdeburg, on the other hand, might have missed a pivotal opportunity by not capitalizing on Sandhausen's loss of focus due to their foul-intensive strategy.
