Everything went up a gear just before half time. The ball was in the back of the Mainz net twice in five minutes. Both times it was Anthony Ujah who got the goal. He did not only play a large part in Werder's away win at Mainz, but also reached a personal milestone.

It was the striker's first brace in a competitive match for the Green Whites. No wonder then that he was pleased after the game. "Everything worked well today. I hope it keeps going like this," said Ujah. The whole team was pleased with his performance today. "I'm very happy for Tony. He works so hard for the team in every match. He got his reward today," said Clemens Fritz.

The reason for such an emphatic away win: effectiveness. "The difference with our previous games is that we finished our chances today. We haven't played badly in the last few games, but just lacked the goals," explained the match winner.

Even though Ujah was very pleased with his two goals and performance, he was keeping his feet on the ground and looking forward. "It was an amazing feeling, especially as the Mainz fans applauded me. But we have to look forward and concentrate on the upcoming important matches." We will see if the Nigerian will show his goal scoring form against Köln too. Another former club that the striker will face in Werder colours.
