In this 2.Bundesliga football match, despite Hertha dominating in terms of possession demonstrated by the higher number of corner kicks (7) compared to St. Pauli's 3, the away team managed to score 2 goals opposed to the home team’s single goal.

St. Pauli displayed exceptional time and goal management. The first goal came relatively early in the match, at 24:45 into the first half, giving them an early lead and possibly throwing Hertha off balance. The second goal occurred well into the second half at 73:18, which solidified St. Pauli’s advantage. Hertha managed to pull one back at 77:54, but it was not enough to level the playing field.

Yellow cards also played a significant role in this match. Hertha received two yellow cards, both in the second half, at minute 55:45 and 75:26, respectively. This could have impacted Hertha's rhythm and contributed to their aggressive game, which is seen in the high number of committed fouls (14). The disciplinary actions could point towards frustration on the field and a potential lack of focus.

St. Pauli maintained a cleaner game with zero yellow cards and far less fouls (5). Their disciplined play may have contributed to them being able to focus more on the game and make the shots count. The offside statistics also suggest that St. Pauli were tactically superior on the day, managing to stay onside throughout the game - not giving away any opportunities due to positional errors.

Based on these statistical factors, it can be derived that St. Pauli’s goals, combined with their disciplined play and superior tactical approach won them the game. On the other hand, Hertha's lack of discipline and potentially lack of focus, as evinced by the yellow cards and higher number of fouls, could have worked against them. Their higher possession, indicated by the number of corner kicks, might show dominance, yet it didn’t convert into goals effectively, leading to their loss.
