"We deserved it. We gave everything until the end. I am so proud of the team," said the 27-year-old.
... and her secret to success
"What made you so strong tonight?" "ORF" presenter Alina Zellhofer asked the hat-trick scorer. It wasn't the food, Uka waved off.
"An hour before the game, I had a little sleep. That always helps me," said the striker, laughing. "Although, our athletic coach doesn't like that at all. I hope he doesn't see this," joked the goal-getter, who could no longer answer the following question about her preferred opponent as she was surprised by her jubilant teammates.
Draw on Friday
Coach Stefan Kenesei also didn't want to commit to names. "We want to present a tough challenge, deliver results, and collect points. We want to make ourselves and the fans proud," he said about the goals for the league phase.
The first matchday is scheduled for September 22/23. The draw will take place on Friday.
"It's an outstanding feeling, but I'm still calm inside because we dominated the game for 90 minutes. That was clear today," Kenesei said about the win against Brann.
"For the first time, I didn't really have the right words in the circle (after the game, editor's note), but could only congratulate. An outstanding performance."
