Borussia Dortmund conceding late against Hertha Berlin ‘annoying’ – Mario Gotze

DORTMUND, Germany — Mario Gotze said dropping two points was “annoying” after Borussia Dortmund conceded a penalty in stoppage time to draw 2-2 against Hertha Berlin on Saturday.
Gotze, 26, told reporters after the game: “Two points were very much possible looking at the run of play. We had enough chances to kill the game. We cannot be happy with the result and conceding so late is annoying.
“In previous games, we were more efficient in front of goal. But this won’t knock us down.”
