Debut Assist Leads Schalke to First Win Since Promotion

South Korean national football team forward Hwang Hee-chan recorded a sharp assist for the decisive goal in his debut match for Schalke.

Thanks to his contribution, the newly promoted club secured an emotional first victory of the season.

Having dramatically joined Schalke on transfer deadline day, Hwang made a powerful impact right from his debut.

Coming on as a substitute in the second half, Hwang received a pass as he surged down the right flank during stoppage time while his team held a narrow 2-1 lead. He immediately delivered a precise cross that set up Wöber's insurance goal.

Powered by Hwang's first assist as they defeated Union Berlin 3-1, newly promoted Schalke celebrated their first win of the season and their first victory in the top flight in three years, sharing the joy with their travelling fans.
