Vincent Kompany refused to be too critical of his Bayern Munich team after their 1-1 draw with Union Berlin on Saturday.
The 75th minute strike by Leroy Sane was quickly canceled by a Benedict Hollerbach equalizer in Stadium An der Alten Forsterei.
Union only had seven shots for Bayern's 18, but the visitors only managed to get four on goal, because they collected 1.5 expected goals.
The draw followed from a shock destruction to VFL Bochum last week, and second place Bayer Leverkusen hope to close the gap on the leaders when they take it against Stuttgart on Sunday.
But Kompany did not believe that his team did too much wrong.
“For us it was a game of two stories, there was the performance and then there is the result. Of course, if we don't have the three points, we are disappointed about the result. Very simple,” Kompany told reporters.
“But I have been to football long enough to know that this was not a bad performance away from home. We have taken the danger away for a long time.
“Eventually credit to the opponent because they fought.
“Sometimes if you don't score, it's not just because the strikers don't put it in. It's because the opposite defenders, the keeper, do many things well. And they did.”

Bayern had 14 corners in the competition, but did not get the best of it, with some of their deliveries in the nearby pole and the first man did not know.
“That has been very successful this season. We also scored many goals from corners,” said Kompany.
“At these moments where the corners had a little less potential than normal, the last pass, the last cross, we were still dangerous at the end of it.
“We were still able to win the game. If everything is not perfect, you can sometimes still win 1-0, but that was not the case today.”
