VfB head coach Markus Weinzierl: "We're relieved to have got an important victory. It was a deserved win. You could tell that we weren't exactly full of confidence, but we fought our way into the game and knew we'd create chances. It was defensive stability that allowed us to get into the game. It's good to get back on track and I'm really pleased for the team. Today we can celebrate, but we've not achieved anything yet. There's still a long way to go."
Erik Thommy: "This win is a big weight off our shoulders and we're delighted. Still, it's only one small step, albeit against a direct rival. We threw everything into it and didn't let up after going ahead. For my goal, I hit the ball exactly as I wanted to."
Christian Gentner: "I always said this team had it in them. We hardly made any mistakes today, kept it tight and communicated better amongst one another out on the pitch. It was evenly balanced for a long time but then we got the breakthrough and grew in confidence from there. Now we need to kick on from this and keep improving."
