The result was shocking. Reds head coach Gopper admitted that the team's lack of preparation and the fact that some of the players had not yet fully adapted to the pace of the game led to the unsatisfactory performance.

We have to face up to this result," Gopp said.

The performance was really good in certain periods and presented us with a great challenge. Although we also had a number of highlights and should have capitalized on our goal scoring opportunities, unfortunately we didn't. It came too early in the game for some of the players, there were quite a few mistakes and it would have been nice if we had scored 3 or 4 goals in the last five minutes."

The starters of the team have obviously not been at their best after playing on international duty for the national team in the last month, with limited time off, and having just returned to the club not too long ago.

In addition, Gopp also praised young player Dawununius, who missed a good chance to score, saying that he only had 3 training sessions and this game might be too much for his body, but he still insisted on running and creating shooting chances for his team, and was a very dedicated striker.
