The face-off between KSV Hessen Kassel and VfB Stuttgart II in the Regionalliga South West competition on October 3rd, 2023, saw VfB Stuttgart II sealing an emphatic 5-1 victory on the road, despite being outperformed in some areas.

Analyzing the raw statistics, KSV Hessen Kassel showed a more assertive approach in the match concerning set-piece opportunities - they achieved seven corner kicks compared to only two by Stuttgart II. Still, the key statistic that matters - the number of goals - was dominantly in favor of VfB Stuttgart II. They managed to convert their possession and movement into five goals, four of which occurred before the hour-mark, essentially putting the game beyond reach for the home side.

This tactical dominance can be seen in the timing of Stuttgart's goals. The away team showed their superiority early in the first half, scoring their first goal only two minutes into the game, and netting a trio of goals thereafter within the first half. Stuttgart's early dominance allowed them to control the pace of the game, continuously putting pressure on the home team's defenses.

Though both teams held an equal number of infractions, two yellow cards each, the timing of these cards does not suggest any significant impact on the overall turnout of the match. The first yellow card for the away team came 23 minutes into the game when they were already two goals up. Similarly, the home team got their first yellow card 43 minutes into the game, well after Stuttgart had established a commanding lead.

In terms of offside calls, Stuttgart II, by pushing their lines higher and aggressively trying to get behind the Kassel's defensive line, was flagged three times versus only once for Kassel. Even though this statistic shows Stuttgart II's offensive inclination and risk-taking, it does not overshadow their finishing prowess as reflected in the scoreline.

In conclusion, despite KSV Hessen Kassel having more corner kick opportunities, and fewer offsides, they were unable to capitalize on these advantages. The most telling factors of this match were VfB Stuttgart II's efficiency in converting goals, their early dominance, and ability to control the pace of the game, which translated into a convincing 5-1 victory.
