Lucien Favre felt hard done by the 3-3 draw against RB Leipzig on Tuesday.
Borussia Dortmund took two leads 2-0 and 3-2 through goals from Jadon Sancho, Julian Brandt and Julian Weigl. Unfortunately for the hosts, Leipzig found a way to come back with Timo Werner scoring a brace and Patrick Schik’s knocking in one from close range.
“It was a very good game with a lot of speed. Both teams pressed well at the beginning. After that, we were very good and in the first half we were the better team,” Favre told a news conference. “Then we led 2-0 and we wanted the 3-0. We had a lot of patience and intelligence. Then we conceded two goals. After that, chapeau to the team. You concede these two goals and then score the 3-2. I congratulate my team. Then we conceded the 3-3. We wanted to use a few goal chances afterwards. In the end, the result is very hard to accept but I keep the positive things in my head.”
Leipzig manager, Julian Nagelsmann admitted his side fortunate to carry a point from Signal Iduna Park. “In the end, I think it’s a lucky point. Everyone has seen that. We wipe our mouths and take it with us,” he said. “We don’t apologise, but it wasn’t what we could play, especially in the first half. We weren’t brave enough and couldn’t find any access in the press.
“That’s not easy in the third away game in such a short time, if you’re not at 100 per cent against such a strong team. Then, on the other hand, there’s our own possession of the ball and in that aspect, we were incredibly weak.”
