"We are disappointed, not with our performance, but with the result. It was a close game, small details were decisive,"
"We learned something from this match and hopefully we can do better in certain phases in Dortmund. We know we can do better. And we want to play with our identity in every game. Now we move on!"
"We didn't manage to create anything decisive in the final third,"
"Dortmund were a touch more efficient."
Kasper Hjulmand urged Bayer Leverkusen to move on swiftly after a narrow 2-1 defeat to Borussia Dortmund. Aaron Anselmino and Karim Adeyemi scored for Dortmund, and Christian Kofane reduced the deficit to set up a late grandstand finish that Leverkusen could not convert. Leverkusen sit fourth in the Bundesliga, one point behind Dortmund, and will meet them again in the DFB-Pokal on Tuesday. The match produced few clear chances: Leverkusen had 14 shots but only 0.82 expected goals (0.05 xG per attempt), while Dortmund managed seven shots. Players cited missed decisive moments and greater Dortmund efficiency; Hjulmand emphasized learning and retaining team identity.
