Fin Bartels: “It was a compact team performance today. In the first-half it was an even game and we had a bit of luck when they hit the post, but when we went 2-0 up we had the feeling that we’d taken the sting out of the game. We also know that we’re not out of trouble yet and need to keep working hard.”
Zlatko Junuzovic: “It’s a special day. We played really well and were very compact. I’m pleased with the win and proud of the team. But we must continue to give everything and stick together. We’re doing well and taking it one step at a time.”
Robert Bauer: “The first-half was even, it was as we had expected. Both teams put a lot into the game on the day. We went in ahead at half-time which helped us and were able to stretch our lead early in the second-half. It was the game that we’d hoped for.”
Alexander Nouri: “I saw a lot of heart and passion again today. Our team spirit was outstanding again today, we were solid and made the transition from defence to attack well. Every individual embodies that spirit. I’m really pleased with the togetherness in our performance today. But this is not a time to start celebrating. We’ll continue to be modest and we know that there is still a long way to go. The way we won the match today however does give us confidence and optimism.”
Frank Baumann: “Leipzig, of course, have a lot of quality and you could particularly see that at the beginning. We were a little bit lucky on a couple of occasions in the first half. It was good for us to get the opening goal and after that we were much better.
