Speaking to the media after the final whistle, Schalke coach Dimitrios Grammozis bemoaned his team's lack of efficiency in front of goal.
"It's really disappointing to start with a defeat. We were right in the game against a good team in the first half. We deservedly had the lead and could even have gone 2-0 up through Marius Bülter. Michael Langer’s penalty save gave us an additional boost too just before that," Grammozis told reporters.
"After conceding just after the break, Thomas Ouwejan had a good chance to make it 2-1. The difference tonight was that they scored at the right times, and we didn’t. The chances we had should have been enough for at least a point. I would like to thank the fans for their superb support across the 90 minutes this evening. We will now analyse the match and then start preparing for Kiel."
