Lee Jae-sung's 'First Goal Explosion of the Season' Up to 100% Successful Tackling Rate
Lee Jae-sung 32, Mainz, a veteran midfielder of the national soccer team's "Unsung Hero," succeeded in Masugal Four in the German Bundesliga this season.
Lee Je-sung started as a second-line striker in a home game against Werder Bremen in the third round of the 2024-2025 regular league at MEWA Arena in Mainz, Germany, on the 16th and scored an equalizer in the 27th minute of the first half when his team was trailing 0-1.
The opposing goalkeeper ran out and tried to catch the ball that Anthony Casi wrapped with his left foot from the right side of the penalty box, but he fell down with his teammate and missed it. At this time, Lee Jae-sung accurately read the drop point of the ball and rushed in and pushed it with his left foot.
Lee Jae-sung, who scored four goals in the league last season, scored his first goal in the 10th round match against Arminia Bielefeld. Compared to the previous season, Masugolgan had a shot more than a month earlier.
The team couldn't smile. Mainz, who allowed Marvin Dukshu to score the first goal of the penalty kick in the eighth minute of the first half and balanced by Lee Jae-seong's goal, lost 1-2 after being hit by Derek Kön during counterattack in the 24th minute of the second half.
It was all the more regrettable that the opponent team's defender Marco Friedl lost a point after leaving the game at 20 minutes in the second half. He failed to display superiority in numbers. Lee also drew attention for his pass that caused Friedl to leave the game.
Mainz had only two draws and one loss since the opening of the league, but had to postpone their first win to the next game. Werder Bremen had its first win (two draws) of the season against Mainz.
Despite this, Lee Jae-seong displayed outstanding performances including scoring goals. He started alongside Hong as a second-line striker, and supported striker Jonatan Burkart. According to soccer statistics firm Footmob, he not only scored a single shot, but also showed off his dedication in defense, including 100 percent success rate in tackling (three successful attempts) and 70 percent success rate in ground ball competition (seven successful attempts in 10 attempts). He also serves as an indispensable heart for Mainz. 파워볼사이트
Hong Hyun-suk, who is wearing the Mainz uniform this season, is also playing his part as the main agent. He was substituted in the 20th minute in the second half of the day and played 65 minutes until he left the mound. He not only recorded three shots but also recorded four Libercary innings in defense. He is steadily melting into Mainz and is enjoying his debut season as a big leaguer.
