The Stuttgart defense was instrumental in the victory, holding strong throughout the game. They consistently stopped Hamburg at the line of scrimmage, preventing any points from being scored in the first half. Raphael Zistler, Tomiwa Oyewo, Louis Geyer, and Lasse Engel all scored touchdowns, contributing to the team's dominance.
