What an incredible end to that match! Werder and Hoffenheim looked set to share a point each after 90 minutes, before the Green Whites clinched all three thanks to a great assist from Claudio Pizarro to set up Anthony Ujah's injury-time winner. Before the euphoria of the winning goal had had a chance to subside, Zlatko Junuzovic popped up with his second of the game to make it 3-1.
WERDER.DE has rounded up all the quotes from the Mixed Zone at the Rhein-Neckar-Arena.
On the run of play
Viktor Skripnik: "We shouldn't play down our performance today. We were very disciplined today, we believed in ourselves and we showed a lot of quality to beat a tough opponent. After the break, they reacted well to the goal and had a good spell after the equaliser. But we fought hard for these three points and we're proud to beat such an opponent!"
Jannik Vestergaard: "We're delighted with this win. We were under a bit of pressure in the second half, but we coped with it well. We were determined not to go home without any points. To take all three back to Bremen is even better and it showed how much belief we have, and that we are fit"
Anthony Ujah: "We play especially well in the first half. The equaliser wasn't good for us, but we didn't give up and fought until the end. Obviously we had a bit of luck with the win and I thought it would end in a draw by the end. But I was in the right place at the right time and luckily I was able to put it away!"
Zlatko Junuzovic: "We worked very well as a team today. Everybody gave 100 percent and we were very hard to breakdown as a result. The lead before the break was deserved, as we gave away little to Hoffenheim. Unfortunately that wasn't the case after the break and it was difficult for us after that. But then we were rewarded for our bravery after the manager made attacking changes, it sent out a message to us all. These three points are very important to us, hats off to a great team performance."

On bringing on Pizarro:
Thomas Eichin: "When Claudio comes onto the pitch, you can see straight away that he has something special. That's why we signed him."
Jannik Vestergaard: "Every substitution is made with the aim of boosting the whole team. But maybe in the case of a player like Claudio, who has achieved so much and is incredibly important for Werder, that effect is even greater. You could feel the joy amongst the fans and it gave us that extra push towards the end."
Anthony Ujah: "I'm certain that Claudio will help us improve, but I never thought he would have such an immediate impact. I'm delighted that he is in our team."
Viktor Skripnik: "I made the change in the hope that he would shake things up a little. That's why we brought on two attackers for two defensive-minded players. We signed Claudio for situations like this and not just to sell shirts."
Fin Bartels: "Claudio is such a force going forward. He is unbelievably good on the ball and it's very difficult to defend against him in the box. And Tony obviously knows where the goal is and he did well to score."

Vestergaard‘s return to his old club:
Jannik Vestergaard: "I obviously travelled there with more anticipation than my teammates. But the victory doesn't feel so good because it was against my old club, but because it's great for our confidence to win away straight after the international break.
