Muheim’s late strike decides a tight finish

Hamburger SV beat VfB Stuttgart 1-0 in the Bundesliga at Volksparkstadion, with Miro Muheim scoring the only goal in the 88th minute. The result made Hamburger SV the winner after a match in which Stuttgart created more attacking volume but could not find a goal.

Muheim’s decisive effort was a normal goal assisted by Zakaria El Ouahdi, changing the running score to 1-0. It was the last goal listed in the match and arrived after Hamburger SV had made attacking changes, including Otto Emerson Stange replacing Yussuf Poulsen in the 61st minute and El Ouahdi replacing Louis Pepe Lemke in the 78th.

Stuttgart had the greater share of play

The statistics pointed to VfB Stuttgart having more control and pressure. Stuttgart held 66% possession, completed 574 accurate passes from 627 total, and recorded 24 shots to Hamburger SV’s 14. Their 1.71 expected goals also exceeded Hamburger SV’s 1.46, while Stuttgart had 15 shots inside the box compared with eight for the hosts.

Hamburger SV’s goalkeeper made five saves, against two for Stuttgart’s goalkeeper, helping preserve the eventual winning score. Stuttgart also had nine corners to Hamburger SV’s five, but the higher shot count and possession did not produce an equaliser.
