The duck has been broken! Not only for SV Werder, who recorded their first home win of the season with a dominant 5-1 win against Borussia Mönchengladbach, but also for Marvin Ducksch. Last season’s most successful striker, it’s been a long wait after returning to the top flight. "I was very happy about my goal. You could see the whole team were congratulating me after the goal and gave me a big hug. It felt great," Werder's number 7 commented post-match.
Despite the long dry spell in terms of goals, the forward has made his mark so far this season on the assists front, adding two in SVW’s first home victory. "Duckschi has always been important for our game. That's why there was never any question of him remaining uninvolved. He also provided two assists today, and you can highlight those as much as you would a goal,” explained Niclas Füllkrug, emphasising his team-mate's special finishing ability: "He has a quality in finishing that not many possess. He definitely earned his goal and I hope that it continues like this for him now.”

Ducksch now has the most assists in the league (5) after the 5-1 win, and Füllkrug leads the goal charts (7). After the game, Mitchell Weiser placed special value on the forward duo, and what they bring to the team. "Duckschi and Fülle are both very important for us up front. What we’re seeing right now is extraordinary. I'm happy for the boys, also for Duckschi, who did a great job today," was the praise from the midfielder, who also opened his account for the season against Gladbach.
