In a game that demonstrated proficient execution and standout teamwork, 1. FC Union Berlin triumphed over VfB Stuttgart 3-0 in the Bundesliga match staged at Stadion An der Alten Forsterei.

The opening goal for Union Berlin was not scored until the second half, at 50:37, by Sheraldo Becker with an assist from Jerome Roussillon. This follows a first half that observed both teams defending aggressively with a yellow card issued to Union Berlin's Diogo Leite and Stuttgart's Genki Haraguchi. Union Berlin continued their domination with a second goal by Genki Haraguchi with an unfortunate own goal at 67:22, extending Union's lead to 2-0. Kevin Behrens sealed the victory with a third goal at 65:27.

The scoring doesn't fully represent the game flow as Stuttgart actually bested Union Berlin in terms of shots on target, leading 8 to 5. However, Union Berlin exhibiting fierce defense, managed to keep Stuttgart at bay, not allowing any of their efforts to translate into actual goals. With Stuttgart being slightly more aggressive as reflected by their 12 fouls to Union's 10 and 5 corner kicks to Union's 3, the paid off differences lie in Union's aim and accuracy.

Also noteworthy were the offside infractions, where Union Berlin were caught offside 5 times versus Stuttgart's 2. This aggressive forward tactic for Union didn't hamper them in their end game, but rather seemed to have kept Stuttgart ever on the back foot, thus playing into Union's plans and causing a game balance tilt in the Berlin team's favor.

In terms of discipline, both teams had a fairly clean match with only one yellow card a piece and no red cards.

The success of Union Berlin in this match can be primarily attributed to their accurate shooting, strategic offside traps, and stringent defense which kept Stuttgart's more numerous on-target attempts at bay. While Stuttgart exerted pressure via corner kicks and had more shots on target, their inability to convert these chances indicated the effectiveness of Union's defensive strategy. It also underlines the relevance of quality over quantity when it comes to on-target attempts.

This match serves as a statistical example of how clinical execution can outdo higher pressure, reflecting on the need for teams to focus on formation integrity and precision, rather than mere volume of opportunities.
