The hosts took the lead in the eighth minute through a free-kick from Nikolai Baden Frederiksen.
"We talked about how the wall was positioned, and that allowed me to curl the ball around the wall," the Dane told "Sky" after the game.
Frederiksen shows self-criticism
The WSG striker further summarized the course of the game: "I think we had control in many phases of the game and created chances, but we didn't convert them. That's also my fault; I had a few chances!"
Coach Philipp Semlic also expressed self-criticism: "We did many things well, but we also did two things poorly in defense, which led to us conceding goals. Offensively, we didn't play out situations to the end to score our goal."
