Hannes Wolf: "We weren’t so good in the first-half. Luckily Mathias Zimmermann netted a cracking goal. I am really delighted that it was him who got the goal, because he’s been through a difficult time. In the second-half we then did the job exceptionally well. It was a bit unusual that Simon Terrode missed three good chances, but we continued to press forward, got our goals and sealed a deserved win. I would like to thank everyone who has put us where we are now. I have been exposed to a great deal of respect. The fans were always right behind us. It’s a privilege for me to be a part of this."
Christian Gentner: "Compliments to the team on this performance. Simon Terodde and Daniel Ginczek had significant roles to play in today’s win and the good season we’ve had. Right now the fact that we are promoted has not sunk in – that’ll take a few days. The fans had a massive part to play in our success. The fantastic atmosphere created a feeling of being in it together. Before preparations for the coming season start though, the team should really enjoy the promotion."
Simon Terodde: "The win was a team success. My express gratitude to Daniel Ginczek, who twice set me up perfectly. It is a wonderful feeling to have won promotion – no one in the team had experienced that before. It’s a title which stays forever and no one can take that away from us. This morning my wife built me another ‘Top-Scorer Cannon’, because there unfortunately isn’t one in the ‘2. Bundesliga’. Today it was clear to see how amazing the bond is between the fans, the team and the city! Now I’m really looking forward to the Bundesliga."
