In a riveting match of the 2. Bundesliga, Greuther Furth was overcome by Holstein Kiel, two goals to one. The game showcased a strong performance and effective teamwork from both teams, which became particularly crucial in the second half.

From the start, Greuther Furth held their ground well. Within the first half (at approximately 30 minutes into the match), they managed to secure the first goal, pushing them into an initial 1-0 lead. However, this was the only goal they scored in the entire game, indicating that Holstein Kiel was successful in their defense for the most part.

Holstein Kiel's resilience finally paid off in the second half when they scored two crucial goals, first striking at approximately 47 minutes into the match to level the score and then, decisively, at 84 minutes. Kiel's offensive efforts were backed by significant ball control and effective use of set pieces, which is evident from their staggering total of 12 corner kicks, against Greuther Furth's 6.

Looking at overall effort, Holstein Kiel also led in the number of fouls committed, 14 compared to Furth's 6, indicating a more aggressive and intense attempt to take control of the game. Furth, despite fewer fouls, did find themselves in an offside position more often than their opponents —three times contrasting Kiel's one— which may suggest a more aggressive attacking approach that unfortunately didn't pay off in terms of goal scoring.

The match also saw one yellow card given to each side, serving as evidence of a competitive but relatively fair contest. Both cards were handed out in the second half, plausible indications of the escalating pressure and competition as the match progressed.

To conclude, as the numerical data indicates, Holstein Kiel's strategic set pieces utilization, effective ball control, and defensive solidity were key to their turnaround in the second half. Despite Greuther Furth's sharper offensive tactics, their inability to convert these into goals was their downfall, leading to a victory for Holstein Kiel at 2-1 on the day.
