Midfielder Lee Hyun-ju, who plays for the Portuguese professional football club Arouca, has recorded his first assist of the season.
Starting in the home match against Moreirense for the second round of the 2026–2027 Primeira Liga held at the Municipal Stadium of Arouca today (the 17th), Lee assisted Jose Fontan's additional goal in the 30th minute of the first half while his team was leading 1-0.
After calmly securing possession amid a scramble, Lee immediately passed the ball to the right side of the penalty area, which Fontan finished with a left-footed shot to score.
This marks Lee's first offensive point of the season.
Having seized control of the match with an opponent's own goal in the 23rd minute of the first half followed by Fontan's goal, Arouca secured a 4-0 landslide victory with consecutive goals by Ivan Barbero in the 46th minute of the first half and Dylan Nandín in the 46th minute of the second half, extending their winning streak to two matches since the opening.
