Nuri Sahin spoke candidly in his interview with sky, accepting full responsibility for Nils Petersen's second goal. "I didn't know he was there and I can only apologise," Sahin said. But Roman Bürki played down the error: "Losing the ball like that can happen. Congratulations to Petersen."

Nuri Sahin: "I can't really say I'm that satisfied about this point. It's better than losing, of course, but nonetheless I'm not really happy. We had far too little movement in our game and our passing game wasn't tidy. Then they went 2-1 up because of an individual mistake from me. That cannot happen and I fully take the blame for it. I didn't know Petersen was there and I can only apologise for it. I'm already a little bit concerned about our targets. We need to qualify for the Champions League, but our results currently do not suggest we're heading in this direction. We're struggling going forward, we need to create more chances and make better use of them."

Roman Bürki: "It all happened quite quickly for Petersen's second goal. I was off my line so that I could help in our build-up. Losing the ball like that can happen. I think you have to congratulate Petersen. He did really well, I had to sprint backwards and unfortunately I couldn't get to it in time."

"I'm proud of the lads"

Nils Petersen (SC Freiburg): "Obviously you're not entirely happy when your opponent equalises in stoppage time. We fought brilliantly, but would have loved to get the three points. In the end we dropped two points. All in all, I'm really proud of the lads." (djg)
