Act of will: match-winner Undav back with a bang | OneFootball

Just before the international break, VfB Stuttgart secured an important home victory. With a 3-2 win against FC Augsburg, the Swabians head into the break with the maximum number of points—a success driven above all by commitment and team spirit.

For Deniz Undav, the result was proof of the team’s current form: “We really wanted to get this win. We’re in a good flow—and that’s why it was important to win the last match before the international break as well.”

Undav praised the collective strength of the team: “I’m proud of the whole team, how we helped each other and did everything for this win. It was an act of willpower; everyone put in an enormous effort.”

Despite the success, the attacking player emphasized the difficulties of the match. Augsburg presented themselves as combative and made life difficult for the Stuttgart players: “Especially in the first half, we should have had more control of the game—Augsburg did well, they were very tenacious.”

The Swabians, however, were not deterred and showed more control and penetration after the break. The victory comes after an intense phase with many games in a short period and boosts morale ahead of the break: “After so many games in recent days and weeks, it just feels really good to round off the current phase with such a success.”
