Maximilian Senft (Ried coach): “This first home win is a milestone on our journey. We got our core idea fully on the pitch in a very difficult phase – not won three games and won the game.”
Philipp Semlic (WSG coach): “We did not manage to defend long balls well, were inferior in physical duels and gradually lost our cutting edge.We also did not have the willingness and courage to fight against it. Ried went out of the square as a highly deserved winner.”
