In the Bundesliga clash on the 24th January 2023, RB Leipzig emphatically defeated Schalke 04, triumphing with an impressive 6-1 victory. The match, held at the Arena AufSchalke, demonstrated a dominant performance from the away team.

RB Leipzig started strongly, with Andre Silva getting on the scoreboard less than 7 minutes into the game. The early breakthrough gave Leipzig the upper hand, building the momentum that they maintained throughout the match. In quick succession, Benjamin Henrichs doubled the lead thanks to Dani Olmo's first assist of the day. Andre Silva's consequent brace and Timo Werner's strike, both setup by Olmo, took the away team to a formidable 4-0 lead before the half-time whistle.

Schalke only managed to reply in the second half when Soichiro Kozuki scored, assisted by Michael Frey. However, their chance of a comeback was further stifled when Dani Olmo and Yussuf Poulsen found the back of the net, taking RB Leipzig's total to 6.

Statistical analysis reveals the gap in the performance of the two teams. Leipzig had the lion's share of shots on target, with 14 shots compared to Schalke's sole attempt. This aggressive attacking seemed to backfire slightly on Leipzig, with them being caught offside 5 times compared to Schalke's 3. Nonetheless, their powerful offense paid off, reflected in the 6 goals scored.

Schalke, on the other hand, struggled to convert their chances. Despite having 8 shots off target, only one found its way to the goal. Surprisingly, they had more fouls(16) than their opponents (13), indicating they were possibly trying too hard to reclaim possession, leading to a more aggressive, and less composed game strategy.

The match saw involvement from both teams' midfielders with significant assists. Frey provided the much-needed support for Schalke, whilst, Dani Olmo's splendid hat-trick of assists played a substantial part in Leipzig's victory.

Both teams played a clean game with each picking up only one yellow card, with no red cards in the match. Kevin Kampl for Leipzig and Michael Frey for Schalke, were the recipients of one yellow card each.

Ultimately, RB Leipzig dominated the game both offensively and defensively, keeping Schalke at bay. The overall teamwork and performance from Leipzig was evidently superior, a fact further emphasized by the final score line. This match displayed the potency of Leipzig's attacking force, while Schalke's ability to convert chances and resist high-pressure attacks were notably brought into question.
