Head coach Adi Hütter: “It was certainly a lucky point. I’m happy with how it ended but the performance was not good. Düsseldorf played well with the fresh impetus they had, and showed that they can play good football. That was also largely down to us because we didn’t manage to settle the game down. In our situation it’s important to pick up a point even when we play badly. We’ve already shown we can do much better. There are always games in the Bundesliga that don’t reflect the table, like our win last week against Leipzig.”
Kevin Trapp: “No doubt it was a lucky point. We’re all annoyed about the performance, which wasn’t good enough. We were lacking what we did well in the last two matches. It was to be expected that Fortuna would come out that way. They had a go but that’s mainly because we allowed them to. There are always going to be days like this but we have to understand that it wasn’t good enough from our side.”
Kaan Ayhan: “The late equaliser is like a dagger through the heart. We were maybe the slightly better team today and maybe deserved the win. The equaliser was tight but it was correct, so we have to live with the result. We played well and can build on that.”
