In the Bundesliga match played on 16th April 2023, at Weserstadion Platz 11, Freiburg came out victorious against Werder Bremen with a 2-1 win. The data shows a high-intensity game, with the final outcome hinging on some notable details and strategic execution more than a mere goal tally.

Werder Bremen started aggressively, with Christian Gross receiving a yellow card in only the 10th minute of the game. Interestingly, the home side had a higher shot on goal ratio (5) compared to Freiburg (3), but lacked the precision to capitalize on this advantage. A classic case of quantity over quality. In terms of off-target shots, Werder Bremen had 8 compared to Freiburg's modest 3. This further points toward an inefficient finishing in Bremen’s offense.

Bremen’s goal came from Maximilian Philipp, assisted by Leonardo Bittencourt early in the second half. They had the lead for 20 minutes before Freiburg’s Roland Sallai equalized, assisted by Lucas Holer. Another evidence of Bremen's initial dominance is their corner kicks count (5 compared to Freiburg's 2), which unfortunately did not translate into more goals.

Freiburg's decisive moment came when Lucas Holer found the back of the net in the 70th minute, assisted by Roland Sallai, only minutes after they had equalized. Freiburg's disciplined and strategic play of capitalizing on the few chances they got, outshone Bremen's aggressive, yet inefficient attack. This is reflected in Freiburg's lower shot tally but higher goal count. They knew when to strike and made it count.

Looking at the disciplinary data, Freiburg received more yellow cards (3) than Bremen (2), indicating a more aggressive style of play from Freiburg. However, they managed to control their aggression well, as neither team received a red card. Both teams had a fairly equal number of fouls, with 13 for Bremen and 12 for Freiburg.

In the offside department, Freiburg seemed to adopt a higher line of defense, catching Bremen offside only once, while themselves straying offside as many as four times. This could point towards an ambitious approach in their attempt to gain positional advantage.

In conclusion, Freiburg won due to their greater efficiency in converting chances into goals, coupled with a robust defense that kept out Bremen's majority of on-target shots. Their strategy of quality over quantity paid off, even as they played a more physical game, thereby indicating a well-rounded performance. On the other hand, Werder Bremen will have to reevaluate their strategy and improve their precision in front of the goal.
