This past Saturday, a nail-biting encounter was witnessed between VfB Stuttgart II and SG Barockstadt Fulda-Lehnerz in the Regionalliga South West. The home side, VfB Stuttgart II, managed to edge past its challenger with a final score of 2-1.

The win was not an easy feat for Stuttgart, as the statistics tell. The goals were evenly spaced, with Stuttgart breaking the deadlock at 33:20 in the first half. However, SG Barockstadt Fulda-Lehnerz displayed a level of resilience and equalized the score 11 minutes later, at 44:26. The definitive moment came in the second half when Stuttgart, after a balanced play, got ahead in the 61st minute to secure the win.

Analyzing the distribution of set-pieces, it's clear that Stuttgart's defence managed to counter Barockstadt's attacks effectively. Despite Barockstadt having a stronger presence in Stuttgart's half (7 corner kicks as compared to Stuttgart's 4), Stuttgart's defence proved sturdy, limiting Barockstadt to just one goal.

Another notable aspect of the match was the discipline, or rather lack of it, displayed by both the teams. The match saw a total of 9 yellow cards handed out by the official - 5 to Stuttgart and 4 to Barockstadt. The flurry of yellow cards for Stuttgart started as early as the 20th minute of the match, but despite numerous cautions and the constant threat of being reduced to 10 men, no player received a second booking.

Given the context of a match fraught with tension and regular rule infringements, Stuttgart's win can be attributed to a combination of defensive solidity, effectively capitalizing on goal delivery, and successfully navigating a match filled with frequent disciplinary actions. Barockstadt players, on the other hand, despite their aggressive play and higher number of corners won, were unable to convert these opportunities into goals, highlighting a potential requirement for a more clinical offensive strategy for future matches.
