Peter Stoger refused to blame supporter protests for Borussia Dortmund's 1-1 home draw with Augsburg that ended a three-match winning streak in the Bundesliga.
Marco Reus scored after 16 minutes to put Dortmund on track for a fourth successive Bundesliga win that would have seen Stoger's men close to 17 points within leaders Bayern Munich.
But in front of a sparsely-populated Signal Iduna Park, with over 27,000 fans boycotting a first Monday night game in 28 years, Kevin Danso struck to secure a point for Augsburg.
While the famous Yellow Wall was unusually quiet, with fans displaying their opposition to television coverage dictating Dortmund’s schedule, Stoger did not think unrest off the field had an impact on a flat performance from his side.
