Reactions to the 2-0 in Heidenheim: "Everything we set out to do" | OneFootball

Even though the joy of leading the table was short-lived, Borussia Dortmund improved their decent season start with four points from two games by securing a 2:0 victory against 1. FC Heidenheim, and gained confidence ahead of the Champions League opening match against Juventus Turin on Tuesday.

Sporting director Sebastian Kehl was pleased with a "dominant victory", but also hinted that considering the long numerical advantage after the red card for Heidenheim's Budu Zivzivadze (22.), a landslide victory could have been possible: "We would have liked a third and a fourth goal. That could have been possible in the second half." Regardless, Kehl was very satisfied with Borussia's performance and drew confidence for the upcoming tasks: "We also won this game without conceding a goal, which was the absolute goal. The team looks fit, and we still have plenty of opportunities to rotate. Therefore, I am not worried about the upcoming games."

Anton admits "a few percent less"

Meanwhile, Waldemar Anton made no secret of the fact that the last bit of determination was missing after the break: "In the second half, we let the game run a bit. It's normal to then do a few percent less. We should have created a few more scoring opportunities," the central defender admitted, but was still positive: "On the whole, we are satisfied and happily take the points."

Just like Karim Adeyemi, for whom the success in Ostalb was not a given and who highlighted the bare facts: "It's not easy to play in Heidenheim. We gave everything, scored two goals, conceded none - everything we set out to do."
