Kaoru Mitoma struck in the second-half to cancel out Erling Haaland's penalty for City before the break.
“We started the game really strongly, we created a lot of chances and should have scored at least one goal. Then the goal for them came out of nowhere and that changed the dynamic a little bit,” Hurzeler said.
“At the start of the second half we gave them chances through our own individual errors but we didn’t give up. We always had belief and after making it 1-1 we had more big chances. We made too many mistakes to win the game, so that’s why we have to be happy with a draw. It was an up and down game.
“But the most important thing was the chances we created. We stuck together as a team and had belief that we could get something from this game.”
Hurzeler believes a fully fit Mitoma can play an important role in the second half of the season.
He added, “He can be a game changer for us. We need to push him so he’s 100% but in the second half he showed he is trying to get back on track as quickly as possible.”
