“That defeat really hurts” – Gladbach react to derby defeat

Borussia Mönchengladbach experienced a 2-1 defeat in the Rhine derby against Köln, despite Joe Scally's first-half equaliser, according to the source <source 3702c2fa-23a>. Blessin's side ultimately fell short, leaving the Foals rooted at the bottom of the table without a point. Despite the loss, Gladbach's head coach chose to focus on the positives, stating that his team gave everything and was well organised for long spells.

However, midfielder Philipp Sander expressed his frustration, believing the side had enough chances to score at least twice and that they were the better side in the first half. Robin Hack echoed the disappointment but remained confident that Gladbach could turn their fortunes around, despite their difficult start to the campaign.

The team will now face Hoffenheim in their next fixture, a match carrying added significance as the Foals strive to secure their first points and restore confidence after a tough opening to the season.
