Jan Moravek was taken out of the game with a quick body swerve, two further steps forwards and a shot fired from 20 meters out - GOAL!! Mehmet Ekici burst away towards the home fan block to celebrate his decisive goal, which was to lead to a 1-0 win over FC Augsburg.

Head coach Robin Dutt commented as follows on his side's performance after the final whistle: „Mehmet Ekici's development is taking place in parallel with that of the entire team. He has some tough times behind him but he is making many steps forwards but there are also many things he can do better. He was fouled less today because he parted with the ball more quickly. When he wasn't stopped by a foul, he went on to score a very important goal".

It was a goal which the Turkish international was insistent that wouldn't affect him: „In that scene I broke through well past the first defender and just let fly. It all happened so quickly - I'll have to have a better look at it on television. Quite honestly though, the goal doesn't mean all that much to me. The win is worth more because the team is in the forefront. I'm just one part of that team. At the moment I am giving my 100% just like everyone else," stated Ekici modestly. And the midfielder went on to explain just why he has every fate in the team: "We are still in the orientation phase but if we continue to work as hard as we have been, then it will become ever more difficult to play against us. We will grow in confidence and road will rise to meet us", grinned Ekici.
