Clemens Fritz: "We kept pressing for a second right up until the final whistle but the finals balls weren’t quite good enough. Mainz were compact, which made life tough for us."
Viktor Skripnik: "I’m disappointed with our performance in front of goal. We had chances and should have scored more, however, I’m not going to be too critical. Mainz are a good side but we pushed them all of the way. Obviously a win would have been nice but at least we didn’t lose."
Zlatko Junuzovic: "It was an intense game and we’re had to have claimed a point, but we’d have won if luck was on our side. We gave it our all. Maybe we could have taken more risks but Mainz are good on the break, so we didn’t want to be too open."
Fin Bartels: "I’m optimistic. We gave it our all and gave a good account of ourselves. We knew that Mainz are a dangerous side so we did well to keep them quiet. It was good to take a point before the break."
Thomas Eichin: "We were the better side overall but despite this it’s nice to have taken a point. Things can quickly go wrong defensively if you push too hard against a side like Mainz."
Felix Wiedwald: "Both sides gave it their all. Mainz are strong on the counter and clinical but we managed to nullify their threat. We pushed for a win late on but a draw is probably the right result. It was important to take something from the game because the sides around us have done well this weekend."
Santiago García: "We’re not totally happy because a point isn’t enough. We’re proud of how we played against a good Mainz side. The only thing that was missing was a winner."
