This match between the 2.Bundesliga teams Sandhausen and FC Hansa Rostock was a tightly contested encounter ending in a dramatic 2-1 win for the away side. Despite a stronger presence in corner kick situations from Sandhausen with a total of 7, compared to Rostock's 5, it was Rostock who made their chances count, scoring twice in the first half, turning the game on its head.

The quick and precise team effort from Rostock was evident from their first goal scored at 16:15 minutes into the match. The second goal came at a crucial time too, a well-placed shot just over the half-hour mark that set Sandhausen back considerably. The home side, however, didn't let the early setbacks deter them and put up a valiant fight, scoring a goal nine minutes into the second half. Their tenacity was evident, but this single goal wasn't enough to overcome the deficit.

The clash was marred by multiple disciplinary issues with a total of five yellow cards issued: three for Sandhausen and two for Rostock. These disciplinary problems, particularly for the home team, disrupted their game flow, causing considerable setbacks. The yellow cards for Sandhausen came at critical junctions - two in first half under three minutes span and one soon after they had scored in the second half. This could be indicative of both high stress levels and aggressive gameplay, both of which may have affected their performance, validity, and ultimately, the outcome.

In terms of fouls and offsides, the teams were relatively even, with each team committing 8 fouls and Sandhausen and Rostock going offside once and twice respectively. These elements didn't seem to greatly impact the game's progression or end result.

Although Sandhausen exerted significant pressure with higher corner kicks, their conversion rate was underwhelming, with only one of these seven turning into a goal. Cracking the Rostock defence proved to be a task too big on the day.

Overall, Rostock's early lead and stellar defensive performance played a key role in their win. Despite Sandhausen's admirable come back and greater ball play in the corner, they fell short due to insubstantial goal conversion and the disruptive effect of the yellow cards. Nevertheless, both teams presented impressive teamwork and passion for the game that can't be captured in just stats and data.
