The newly crowned season winner Borussia Dortmund beat Fortuna Düsseldorf on matchday 22. Schalke remains in the race for the finals thanks to a narrow victory.
Even before the 22nd matchday of the A-Junior Bundesliga West, it was clear that Borussia Dortmund would go into the final round of the German championship as the season winner. Dortmund secured the unofficial West title on Wednesday evening on the couch.

On matchday 22, the newly crowned West German champions had to play against Fortuna Düsseldorf and got off to a false start. After just two revolutions of the pointer, Si-Woo Yang brought the Fortuna into the front. We also went into halftime with a score of 1-0.

After S04 midfielder Max Grüger missed the target from distance, Wuppertal’s Hugo Schmidt tested Schalke keeper Faaris Yusufu. Shortly before the break the game picked up pace, but went into the locker room goalless.
The first chance in the second half also belonged to WSV: Bradley Ndi headed just over the goal after a corner (50′). Even though Schalke clearly had the superiority of the field, they had few ideas for long stretches. Until the 63rd minute, when Jean Paul Ndiaye nodded a corner into the net to make it 1-0.
