Niklas Moisander: “It doesn’t often happen that we win by so many. It was more difficult today than the scoreline suggests. Augsburg had chances that we should have defended better. We started perfectly and that was important, because it made it easier.”
Maximilian Eggestein: “The game wasn’t as clear as the results suggests, especially in the first half. Augsburg could have scored one or two goals and we could’ve gone in with it 3-2 at half time. We didn’t defend well there, but we had a bit of luck and Pavlas saved twice in one-on-one situations. The second half was more commanding.”
Kevin Möhwald: “It wasn’t our best performance in terms of play, we know that. The result is misleading, but we took our chances.”
Milot Rashica: “We started well, scored early and built on it. We controlled the game. We worked on that in training.”
Johannes Eggestein: "It wasn't as easy as it looked in the end, but it was really nice to give something back to the fans on a day like this. We played well and deserved to win."
Florian Kohfeldt: “I have massive respect for how focussed the boys were on the plan today, and it worked well. Augsburg are strong at pressing and we expected it so had three men in midfield, so counter-attacking was important for us today. After Milot went off, Augsburg pushed forward a bit more as they weren’t afraid of his pace. We were on the back foot for a while, but Pavlas came out on top twice. For me as the coach, the nicest thing was seeing how well we played out the second half. We defended convincingly, and didn’t let them break us down or win the second ball. I’m proud of that.”
