"The match was characterised by the fact that neither team wanted to lose. We wanted to consolidate second place and Stuttgart wanted to pull ahead of the teams below them. As a result, it certainly wasn't a thrilling spectacle."
"It wasn't easy in the first half. We weren't getting stuck into the challenges. And if you can't win challenges and don't win second balls, then you don't have possession either."
"When we did have it, we lost it straight away. In the second half, we defended better and waited for our chance. Our last two moves then helped ensure it ended well for us."
