The story in brief
7-second readBVB's coach and full-back gave mixed responses after their 2-1 win over Real Betis, however the mood music was generally very positive from both.
From the source
Niko Kovač was a happy man after his Borussia Dortmund side ground out a 2-1 win over Real Betis tonight in the Champions League. “I’m very pleased with my team.
We dictated the game for long periods and kept it under control," Kovač said in his post-match interview. "It wasn’t easy, partly because we lost Serhou [Guirassy] to injury early on.
But I’m delighted that Konstantinos [Karetsas] came on. “He did his job very well and scored too. Producing a vital assist while being very attack minded on the night, Julian Ryerson was a little annoyed they didn't put the game to bed earlier.
