Career

As a left runner, Robert Cimera was allowed to accompany the national team to Stockholm for the Olympic Games in 1912 . In the opening game against Germany , Cimera and his team had an easy game after a German defender ran down his own goalkeeper. Austria won 5-1, Robert Cimera scored the final goal.

Here Robert Cimera came after victories over Norway and Italy to the final against Hungary , in which he and the team lost 3-0. During the First World War , the runner ended up in Hütteldorf , where he was only used relatively rarely in defense. He played his last international match against Hungary in 1915.
