POSTGAME REACTION: Gerhard Struber, Aaron Long, Omir Fernandez

"The statistics show me and everyone that we are on the right way with our progress, everyone knows we have a young group, a new young group with some new players and today, I think we show from the first second many good moments. We create a lot of chances in both halves and especially, our way of football against the ball to find together the right triggers to press, to find the right intensity in the right moment. I think the setup was good in many directions. We have also the key players in our hand from San Jose and from this direction, I would say a very good game with many good moments, the one or other learnings, but I am very happy with the win in many ways."

-Head Coach Gerhard Struber

"It’s a great start to the season for us, I think everybody wants to start off with a win, and I think for us, it was super important to keep with the momentum that we ended with last year. I think to come here, away from home, and win 3-1 is what we needed. It’s the perfect start for us, and for me to score and always help the team is a bonus for me."

-Omir Fernandez

"Yeah, I am so happy man. Like you said, it has been a long time for me, eight, nine months. To come away on the road,21 days as a group, to come back with three points and the performance was not our best by any means, but the fight and the heart was there. I think it means a lot and it was a big win for the group and I am super happy."
