Looking back at the 2. Bundesliga match between Karlsruher and Hannover 96 on 12th May 2024, various statistical factors can shed light on the match dynamics and the ultimate result, a 2-1 victory for Hannover 96.

Taking an early lead at 19 minutes and 10 seconds into the first half, Hannover 96 showed an aggressive play style. This quick lead was indicative of a strong forward line able to penetrate the Home team defence. As for Karlsruher, they managed to score a late goal in the first half at 44 minutes and 54 seconds, indicating a resilient offence that capitalises on opportunities close to the halftime whistle.

In the second half, Hannover 96 proved their dominance by scoring the winning goal at 64 minutes and 39 seconds. While Karlsruher was unable to level the scoreline, their attacking effort was shown through their 8 corner kicks compared to Hannover's 6. However, this still fell short as Hannover effectively neutralised these set-piece threats.

Looking at fouls and offsides, Karlsruher committed slightly more fouls (17 compared to Hannover's 15), perhaps suggesting a more physical approach to their defensive game. This physicality spilled over into disciplinary infractions as Karlsruher racked up a hefty total of 6 yellow cards while Hannover had only two. These disciplinary issues for Karlsruher could have disrupted their team flow and influenced their ability to effectively respond to Hannover 96's attacking game.

Offsides were relatively low for both teams (Karlsruher with 2 and Hannover with 1) which could imply well-coordinated attacking movements and disciplined defensive lines. The low offsides counts, however, have not provided much advantage for Karlsruher, suffering from a deficit in the final outcome.

In conclusion, Hannover 96's swift attacks that resulted in early and second-half goals, were instrumental to their victory. Despite a physically aggressive game and a higher number of corners, Karlsruher's disciplinary issues, reflected by their coupled yellow cards, may have cost them the match. Their inability to capitalise on set-pieces and overcome their disciplinary challenges tip the scales in favour of Hannover 96, thus providing a prime example of how statistical factors can impact match results.
