Sometimes you need a little bit of luck

VfL coach Guðjón Valur Sigurðsson: “SCM won the game. They deserved it. We started the game badly. We did not play well and made many mistakes. We tried to catch up, but made more mistakes. These mistakes were important because they helped Magdeburg win. We tried very hard, so I am not unhappy. But SCM was always a little better than us.”

Bennet Wiegert: “Before the game, we felt a bit nervous. We never know how well pre-season training works. We are happy to win two points here in Gummersbach. We were very ready and focused. This helped us a lot. Gummersbach never gives up. My team played very well. We kept our lead until the end. Sometimes you need a little luck, and today we had it.”

Magnus Saugstrup: “Today’s game was very hard. This is what we expected. It was fun to play here in this hall with many fans. You can see the long history here. We started strong but became tired later. Their goalkeeper stopped many shots, so our rhythm changed. But we worked hard and won two points.”

Dominik Kuzmanovic: “I am very happy with this game. It is not easy to win points in Gummersbach. Our whole team played very well. The game was close at times, but we stayed calm. Now we can go home happy with two points.”
