In the thrilling Regionalliga West competition match on 13 February 2024, at 18:30 EEST, Rot Weiss Ahlen managed to achieve a comeback, overturning an initial deficit to secure a 3-2 victory over Schalke 04 II.

Rot Weiss Ahlen's resilience was shown by them sticking to their game plan despite Schalke 04 II taking a firm lead within the first half with two goals. The team made crucial adjustments and managed to score two goals to level the score all before the end of the first half.

Schalke 04 II started the game on a high note, scoring their two goals in quick succession at the 22nd and 24th minutes. However, their efficiency in converting the early opportunities didn't sustain. Their corner kick stats, five compared to Rot Weiss Ahlen's four, suggest Schalke 04 II's active pursuit for more goals. However, their failure to convert these set-pieces highlighted their ineffectiveness in seizing their opportunities.

Rot Weiss Ahlen made use of their fewer corner kicks efficiently. Rising from a 0-2 deficit, they marked their comeback with two goals within a gap of seven minutes. Their fierce counteraction was evident as they continued their aggressive play into the second half, scoring a decisive goal to take the lead at the 59th minute.

In terms of discipline, Rot Weiss Ahlen had a troubling match, accruing four yellow cards, and even seeing one of their players sent off with a red card. Conversely, Schalke 04 II had a relatively clean game with only two yellow cards. Despite playing with a man less, Rot Weiss Ahlen's tactical acuity enabled them to not just hold on to their lead but also keep Schalke 04 II at bay.

The end game shows Rot Weiss Ahlen's better performance in the match, managing to reverse an unfavorable start with efficient attacking soccer, potent usage of set pieces, and strong resilience to maintain their lead under the pressure of being one man down.

While Schalke 04 II had an aggressive start, their inefficiency in corner kicks and inability to exploit their numerical advantage proved costly in the end. Their inability to break down Rot Weiss Ahlen's strong defensive displays were crucial in deciding the match outcome.

In conclusion, the three key factors that played the most significant role in this thrilling match were: Rot Weiss Ahlen's efficient use of opportunities, their impressive resilience in the face of adversity and their tactical mastery to hold on to their lead despite being a man down.
