Verified historical context from before kickoff; preserved for comparison after the final result.

VfB Stuttgart registered 13 shots, with 5 on target (shot accuracy: 38.5%); SV Werder Bremen recorded 23 shots, with 5 on target (shot accuracy: 21.7%). Shot accuracy is shots on target divided by total shots, not a measure of chance quality.
