In this Regionalliga West clash, Fortuna Dusseldorf II emerged victorious with a clean 2-0 win over Schalke 04 II. The defeat for the home side can be pinpointed to several statistical factors that favored the away side.

Fortuna Dusseldorf II was highly efficient, scoring two goals without allowing the home side to get any on the scoreboard. The goals came in timely fashion, with the first arriving close to midway into the first half, disrupting Schalke's attempts to establish dominance in the game. The early goal surely put significant mental pressure on Schalke. The second goal came shortly after the restart of the second half, effectively beating down any morale boost Schalke II might have received during the half-time.

From a disciplined standpoint, Fortuna Dusseldorf II can be criticized as they collected 3 yellow cards, showing some tactical missteps. However, compared to Schalke 04 II, who received 1 yellow card and also a red card, Fortuna still displayed better discipline in terms of keeping their players on the pitch.

Despite Schalke 04 II taking 9 corner kicks, higher than Fortuna's 4, the former failed to convert these into goals. Schalke's inability to capitalize on these goal-scoring opportunities had a strong influence on the outcome of the match. Their impotent attack was further underlined by the lack of any offsides, indicating a lack of aggressive attacking intents.

While Fortuna Dusseldorf II only had one offside ruling, it could signal a more proactive offensive approach, which was eventually supported by their 2-0 victory.

To summarize, Fortuna Dusseldorf II's efficiency in goal scoring, combined with Schalke 04 II's missed opportunities and lack of discipline, were the defining statistical factors in this match. Even with the higher number of yellow cards, Fortuna showcased better game management by avoiding any ejections from the game - a factor that Schalke fell foul to, possibly affecting their overall gameplay and strategies.

Conclusively, this match demonstrated the importance of taking your chances and keeping discipline, with Fortuna Dusseldorf II exhibiting excellent execution of these key elements in their approach towards the game.
