“Football can be that incredible, it shouldn’t be today. We created an unbelievable number of chances to score and we did really well. But in the end it’s the goals that count. It’s extremely bitter, but sometimes it’s part of it,” said BW trainer Gerald Scheiblehner in an ORF interview. Previously, the hosts, where goalscorer Ronivaldo had to be replaced injured, failed with a multitude of chances. In the end there were 19:3 shots on goal.
