Finally the first victory! SV Werder finally were able to celebrate their long awaited first Bundesliga victory of the season on the 10th match day with a 2-1 win over Mainz. One could see the relief on the players, club leaders and especially head coach Viktor Skripnik after their second win within four days. "I am overjoyed," said Skripnik after his successful Bundesliga coaching debut. "It was just about time. We won, how it doesn't matter," said Fin Bartels after the match.

WERDER.DE collected the most important reaction from the mixed zone in Mainz.

Zlatko Junuzovic: "That was a great feeling, finally we picked up three points again. The match was the reaction that everyone wanted to see. You can discusss whether it was luck or not. But if so, then we worked really hard to get that."

Viktor Skripnik: "I am overjoyed for my guys. That was pure relegation fight. In the end, the only thing that counts is the three points, regardless of how you get them. Everyone could see our deficits. We will intensively work on those in the coming weeks."

Raphael Wolf: "We had a poor start to the match and conceded a bitter goal. That wasn't good and reminded me of last season. But then we showed that we could fight back. Even though we were certainly not the better team, we fought for these points. This victory was super important. We won, it doesn't matter how."

Thomas Eichin: "We didn't have a very good match at the beginning. We were lacking the courage. The main thing in these kinds of moments is always confidence and we had that back after the goal just before the break at the latest. The second goal was extremely important."
