If needing to tighten up the turn to line up with the runway, sometimes it's tempting to kick in an extra bit of rudder.

Bad idea when close to stall speed.

An uncoordinated turn will speed up the outside wing, but slow the inside wing, potentially to the point of stalling.

Don't know what happened here, but the base-to-final turn is a critical phase of flight.
