The 3. Liga match played on February 4, 2023, saw Borussia Dortmund II secure a late victory against FC Ingolstadt 04, with a nail-biting finish at 2-1 despite experiencing a tense second half. Several statistical factors impacted the outcome of the match and demonstrated the comparative drive and strategy employed by both teams.

Borussia Dortmund II opened their successful scoring campaign early, netting two goals within just under two minutes of each other in the first half, at 00:39:47 and 00:41:41 respectively. These rapid succession goals reflected an aggressive offensive strategy, making it difficult for FC Ingolstadt 04 to regain their footing and match the away team's pace.

FC Ingolstadt 04 managed to post a solitary goal in the second half at 00:52:07, signalling a comeback that unfortunately did not lead to further scoring opportunities. The home team's struggle to secure more goals can be partially attributed to their limited offensive attempts, as evidenced by only two corner kicks during the game, compared to Borussia Dortmund II's five.

This game was, however, not without its defensive efforts. Both teams exhibited toughness and tenacity, reflected in the equal share of yellow cards, with each team issued two. The timing of these cards is also noteworthy; Borussia Dortmund II received their first card (00:35:31) before FC Ingolstadt 04 (00:45:28). Yet, shortly after resumption post-half time, FC Ingolstadt 04 landed their second yellow card at 00:46:33, which likely disrupted their game pattern and momentum in the prime of the second half.

Away team Borussia Dortmund II, despite scoring more goals, were caught offside thrice, compared to Ingolstadt’s singular offence. This might suggest a more aggressive, risk-taking approach that - while reaping benefits in terms of goals - also presented hazards.

In conclusion, Borussia Dortmund II's tactical aggression in the first half, coupled with a strong defensive game, played a critical role in their ultimate win. Meanwhile, FC Ingolstadt 04, despite exhibiting grit, fell short in their offensive efforts, providing limited challenges to the rival defense line, which might have restricted their scoring opportunities.
