Overview
- Wolfsburg, which beat Union Berlin 2-1 on Sunday, took the lead through a long-range strike by Patrick Wimmer.
- The Austrian drove through space in midfield and curled the ball into the corner with the outside of his foot.
- Wimmer said he surprised himself with the clean hit and that the day marked exactly 400 weeks with his wife Sarah, a count he tracks with an app.
- He also credited a new, shorter haircut and joked his wife makes the call, noting he wore the style at Bielefeld and in his first Wolfsburg season.
- The result leaves Union second from bottom in the Bundesliga and two points behind St. Pauli in 16th, keeping the relegation fight tight.
