German media had to admit Lee Jae-sung (32, Mainz), who showed great performance in multi-goal. He was surprised that he gave Bayern Munich a “horror.”
Lee Jae-sung started against Munich in the 14th round of the Bundesliga in the 2024-2025 season at 11:30 p.m. on the 14th (Korea time) at the home stadium of Meva Arena in Mainz, Germany, and scored multiple goals to lead his team to a 2-1 victory.
With six wins, four draws, and four losses, Mainz moves into sixth place with 22 points. Munich maintained its lead with 10 wins, three draws, and one loss, with 33 points, but suffered its first league defeat this season.
Lee Jae-seong played full time. At Munich, center back Kim Min-jae, a teammate of the national team, also played in the first half and the second half.
Lee Jae-sung scored the first goal in the 40th minute of the first half. Lee Jae-sung, who stole Munich’s pass from the midfield and created an offensive chance for his team, suddenly settled inside the Munich box and brought his left foot to the cross coming from the left to break into the Munich net. Kim Min-jae clung to Lee Jae-sung, but failed to stop Lee Jae-sung, who recently showed off his hot toes.
Lee Jae-sung scored his fourth goal of the season and his fifth consecutive offensive point. The first half ended with Mainz leading 1-0 with Lee Jae-sung’s goal.
His second goal came in the 15th minute of the second half when his team was leading 1-0. Lee Jae-sung caught a low courier cross from the right side in the center of the box, beat a defense player with his personal talent, and fired a left-footed shot to score a goal. It was his fifth goal of this season.
Munich scored only one goal back. In the 42nd minute of the second half, Sane calmly fired a shot near the right post in a chaotic situation at the door. Munich struggled to equalize, but no more goals were scored. 안전놀이터
The game ended with a one-goal victory for Mainz.
German media Kicker said, “Lee Jae-sung has emerged with Munich’s fear,” and admired, “He led Mainz to an amazing victory with a decisive score.”
According to Footmob, a soccer statistics website, Lee Jae-seong, who played full-time, fired two shots for 90 minutes (excluding extra time), and scored both goals. He also recorded four touches within the opponent team’s box and two passes at the offensive zone. He also contributed greatly to defense. He posted good records including three clearings, one header clear, six interceptions, 13 defensive actions, and four dribbles.
Footmob gave Lee Jae-sung, who showed “crazy performance,” 9.1 points, the highest score in both teams.
Lee Jae-sung, who was selected as a trainee, said in an interview with the Bundesliga after the match, “I participated in the match with confidence that I could win the home game. (That idea) was effective in today’s match. I am happy to win the last home game of the year.”
“We didn’t look confident in the DFB-Pokal second round home game (Lee Jae-sung was absent at the time) (losing 0-4 against Munich on October 31), but today we were able to win because we had confidence (that we could win),” he said, emphasizing his “strong mental strength.”
Lee Jae-sung said, “I am always grateful. I am so happy to give joy to the fans who supported me with this victory.”
