Manfred Schmid (coach Hartberg) ...

"Today we needed this victory absolutely. The team played very well today. We were very compact, aggressive, and had a lot of chances. And above all, we played with courage, which is very important. Linz is not an easy opponent. We knew that before the game. But we played very well, especially in the first half. In the second half, we had a bit of a hard time. But we defended very well and only allowed a few chances. I'm very happy with the performance of the team. They played with a lot of heart and passion. This victory is very important for us. Now we have to continue like this. We still have a few difficult games ahead of us. But we are confident that we can stay in the league."

We have to be more efficient in front of goal. We are still a young team. We need to improve in many areas. But I'm confident that we can do it. We have a lot of potential. We will continue to work hard and improve. We have to keep our heads up and work on it."
