Stepping onto the German stage for the first time as a substitute in the first minute of stoppage time in the second half of a home match against Schalke, Seol Young-woo proved his worth in a mere minute.
As he slipped a penetrating pass to a teammate who cut into the space behind the defense near the penalty box, Ribeiro shook the net with a right-footed shot.
Seol Young-woo decorated his very first pass at Augsburg with an assist, leaving a powerful impression despite his brief playing time, and then savored the joy of the opening match victory with the home fans.

Lee Young-jun, a forward for Swiss club Grasshopper, has scored his first league goal.
In the 35th minute of the first half while trailing 1-0, when a teammate's header headed toward the goal, he rushed in quickly and finished it with his head.
Lee Young-jun sharpened his scoring touch with his first league goal and second goal of the season ahead of his participation in the Asian Games, but had to swallow his disappointment as his team suffered a heavy defeat.

18-year-old rookie Kim Ye-geon, who left K League club Jeonbuk to join Serbian side Red Star Belgrade (Crvena Zvezda), narrowly missed recording an attacking point in his debut match.
He helped set up a teammate's insurance goal in second-half stoppage time, but Kim Ye-geon's pass was deflected off a defender's foot and thus was not officially recorded as an assist.
Red Star Belgrade, winning 2-0, extended its winning streak to five games since the opening of the season.
