The German coach said, "Batshuayi struggled at first like everyone else. But he played an important role in equalizing. His performance during the short time he spent with us was definitely good. He pushed himself to the limit for 57 minutes and tried everything." Batshuayi was replaced by our national player Can Uzun in the 57th minute.
