“Didn’t go our way”

The Eagles were largely satisfied with their performance, but certainly not with their cup exit.

Board member Fredi Bobic: “The team produced a very good display. We were the better side early on and deservedly led. We then came out very well after half-time but conceded out of nothing. After that we were chasing the game, while Leverkusen used their situations well. The players gave everything; we just didn’t get the rub of the green today.”

In spite of the defeat, we put in a very mature performance. We’ve found our playing style, which is important.

Sebastian Rode: “We were up against very strong opponents. The game didn’t go our way. We started well and had the chance to make it 2-0, but the game changed after the penalty. It’s annoying that we didn’t manage to apply more pressure with the extra man. We need to put the defeat behind us quickly and concentrate fully on the league now.”

Martin Hinteregger: “We played well and demanded everything of Leverkusen. In spite of the defeat, we put in a very mature performance. We’ve found our playing style, which is important.”
