Lee Ho-jae Explodes with 2nd Goal... Darmstadt Secures 2-1 Victory Against Bielefeld

South Korean striker Lee Ho-jae, who plays for SV Darmstadt 98 in Germany's 2. Bundesliga, has scored his second goal of the season.

Starting in the home match of the 5th round against Arminia Bielefeld held today (the 12th) at the Merck-Stadion am Böllenfalltor in Darmstadt, Germany, Lee found the back of the net just 3 minutes into the first half.

Bielefeld's passing error led to a counterattack for Darmstadt.

Noah Weißhaupt, who broke down the left flank, delivered a low cross toward Lee rushing toward the goal, and Lee finished it off with a right-footed shot to score the opener.

This is the second goal for Lee, who became a Europe-based player after leaving Pohang Steelers to transfer to Darmstadt ahead of this season.

He activated his scoring machine once again, 4 matches after scoring in his debut match of the 1st round against Holstein Kiel.

Lee was substituted for Nicolas Verkooyen in the 31st minute of the second half with the score tightly locked at 1-1.

Darmstadt conceded an equalizer to Marius Wörl in the 15th minute of the second half, but secured a 2-1 victory—their first win of the season—thanks to Milan Smit's winning penalty kick in the 41st minute of the second half.

Darmstadt climbed to 14th place (4 points) among 18 teams.
