Post-match comments

The VfB representatives celebrated their first away win of the season and spoke of "Big Points".

Tayfun Korkut: "A massive compliment to the team. We put in a very, very good away performance. We were extremely stable from the very first minute. We knew we would be facing a very determined opponent who would come at us with real power. Our lads implemented the plan extremely well and the players who came on as substitutes were immediately involved. They all pulled together! There is great spirit within the team. We have no time to relax though. We need to maintain the momentum and take points again from the next games. There are some rocks along the way, which we will have to redress. We are completely focused on that now."

Christian Gentner: "It was an extremely mature performance on our behalf. We threw everything we had at them and deservedly won in the end. We kept Augsburg at bay for almost the complete duration of the game and had some counter-attacks of our own, which we should have made better use of. All that really counts is the three points. We are just looking ahead now."

Mario Gomez: "It was a highly-deserved win. We displayed exceptional character during the course of the game today. Augsburg are renowned as a difficult opponent to play against. However, we did exactly what the coach requested of us. The drama towards the end would not have been necessary, if we had made better use of our chances on the break. In the end though, we are very happy about this win."
