Sebastian Hoeness: 'It was a painful ending!'

In the 4th week of the UEFA Champions League, Galatasaray defeated the German team Stuttgart 2-0 at home. After the match, Stuttgart Coach Sebastian Hoeness made a statement at the press conference.

Hoeness said, "We played a good game. We were able to show our game despite an extraordinary atmosphere. We had promising opportunities. We missed the opportunities. We had shots that went past the post. Galatasaray won 2 goals. It was a painful ending for us. It was not good for us that they took the lead so early. We encountered dangerous situations offensively. We were also offensive, but it was not reflected in the result. In the second half, we also tried to change the momentum. We had opportunities, but we could not show composure. "We put pressure, but it doesn't work unless there are goals. I still congratulate my team, we gave our best, the atmosphere was positive for us, but we are not satisfied with the result," he said.

"Conceding 2 goals in the first half changed the game"

When asked where they made a mistake, Hoeness said, "Conceding 2 goals in the first half changed the game. We could not defend well. That was our biggest moment of weakness. I do not want to talk about our weaknesses. We also had extraordinary opportunities."

"If we had scored 1 goal, we would have received praise"
