Despite a spirited fightback in the game, Hurzeler was unable to inspire his team to the quarter finals.
Post-game, Hurzeler said, “The players have a great character and great personality, and they proved it today for sure.
“It's disappointing to be knocked out of the cup, but we were not ruthless enough, and I think that was a difference.
“Liverpool scored at the right moments. They scored out of nowhere with an unbelievable shot for their first goal and we were not able to reply in the right moments.”
