South Korean national team midfielder Lee Jae-sung, who plays for the German Bundesliga club Mainz, has scored his first goal of the season.
Starting in the home match against Werder Bremen for the 2026-2027 Bundesliga Round 7 held at the Mewa Arena in Mainz, Germany, Lee scored a goal in the 18th minute of the second half while his team was trailing 3-1.
He found the back of the net by connecting with a left-footed cross sent by Anthony Caci from the right flank with a header.
After appearing in 39 official matches last season with 6 goals and 4 assists, this is Lee's first goal of this season, coming in his 7th league appearance and 8th official match overall.
Lee had previously recorded only one assist each in the DFB-Pokal (German Cup) and the Bundesliga this season.
Lee was substituted for Ransford-Yeboah Königsdörffer in the 30th minute of the second half, and Mainz failed to score any further, ultimately losing 3-2.
Remaining at 10 points with 3 wins, 1 draw, and 3 losses, Mainz sits in 7th place among 18 teams.
