What do the players say?

Flavius Daniliuc: «From a feeling, it was the first shot on our goal. It's errors that shouldn't happen at this level and ultimately you pay the price. They were relatively deep, closed the middle and waited for counter-attacks. That's ultimately quite difficult to accept.» Jonas Omlin: «As losers, leaving the pitch is always frustrating. Lausanne had a half-chance today and made the goal. We didn't use our chances today and didn't create enough compelling chances. We need to find better solutions to play the opponent so that we can leave the pitch as winners. I'm happy to be back at FC Basel. We still have a lot of work ahead of us.»
