Sometimes a football match can be boiled down to one or two fantastic moments. There were two big moments as Arminia Bielfeld beat Eintracht Frankfurt on Friday: the first was good, the second was majestic.

Patrick Wimmer is still just 20 but has the second most goals (three) and the most assists (four) of any Bielefeld player this Bundesliga season. He added one of each at the Commerzbank Arena.

First came a well taken goal, struck hard and low across goalkeeper Kevin Trapp and into the bottom corner.

It was an excellent finish with Wimmer’s weaker left foot. Ah yes, that left foot, the one he doesn’t trust.

With just under half an hour on the clock, Wimmer had the ball in the box again, this time on the right, too far wide to take aim at goal. Instead of crossing with his left foot, the one he had already scored with, the Austrian decided to cross the ball with a Rabona, finding the onrushing Alessandro Schöpf, who directed the ball home with his chest.

But why the Rabona?

“I really had no trust in my left foot in that situation,” Wimmer said after the game, explaining that he simply had no choice. “So it was either a Rabona or the outside of my boot.

“If it hadn’t ended well, I’d probably be accused of being arrogant or something. Thankfully it paid off.”

Wimmer was involved all night, winning more tackles (four) and completing more dribbles (three) than any of his team-mates. But only a few seconds of his entire performance will remain in the memory.

“Patrick doesn’t some crazy things in training at times,” coach Frank Kramer said. “Today he did that brilliantly and decided the game.”

He certainly did.
