Yang Min-hyuk, who sparked controversy over remarks regarding military service exemption after winning the gold medal at the Asian Games, has scored his debut goal in the Belgian league in his first match back with his team.
Despite playing a crucial role in the Asian Games final by assisting the winning goal with a sharp cross, Yang drew public backlash with his remark that he "played solely looking forward to the military service exemption." Upon returning to Belgium, he immediately netted his first league goal.
Receiving a long throw from his teammate's goalkeeper, he made a swift penetration, easily bypassed a defender, and shook the net with a flawless left-footed shot.
Fueled by Yang's wonder goal scored just three matches after joining the club, Westerlo secured a resounding 5-1 victory.
