Konigsdorffer disappointed after Hertha draw

The Black Stars forward remains disappointed after Hamburger dominated the game against Hertha Berlin but could not finish off the match with a win.

'We dominated the game in the first half, both on the ball and defensively. We were a bit more passive in the second, and maybe concentrated too much on holding on to that one-goal advantage. We’ve learnt a lesson from this and we need to do better next time. It’s disappointing that we couldn’t get over the line today, but four points is okay, even if we’d obviously rather have had six," he said.
