Florian Kohfeldt: “It feels like a defeat. We deserved to win, given how the game went. It doesn't make the result feel any better but that’s one of the best performances we’ve had this season. We created lots of chances and had fantastic link-up play. We played our type of football a lot better than we did in Frankfurt, which makes it all the more frustrating. The fact that we created so many chances makes me optimistic because eventually they will go in. We want to pick up more points. We need to fight until the end to make sure we get the results. We certainly have enough quality to do that.”
Marco Friedl: “I think that we were the better side over the course of the 90 minutes, but a 1-0 lead is always risky. We need to take our chances and put the game to bed a lot quicker. Lots of players had chances. I should’ve done better with my chance at the end. After the game everyone was really down. I’d rather play badly and get the three points than play well for 90 minutes and draw 1-1.”
Christian Groß: “It was an even game; both sides had good moments. We found a nice balance, but not for the entire game. We had enough chances to win the game but we should’ve defended better for their goal. Overall it’s a fair result.”
Maximilian Eggestein: “In such a game, you always have to weigh up whether it’s worth taking the risk of losing and going for another goal. We didn’t have the correct balance when they scored their goal. We found it difficult to play through the middle. Of course you want to try and get the second goal, but you also need to make sure that you have enough players in the defence. We needed to score at the start of the second half but we were missing that bit of quality in the final third.”
Jojo Eggestein: “We struggled to make it 2-0. We were still the better team after taking the lead but Lukebakio scored the equalizer with a really good goal.”
