[서울신문] Freiburg’s Jung Woo-young decorates season’s 2nd goal with the winning goal

Hee-chan Hwang in Leipzig made a last-minute replacement in the second half of Mainz

Jung Woo-young (22) of the German professional football Bundesliga Freiburg marked the 2nd goal of the season as the winning goal in reverse.

Jung Woo-young came out as a starter in the home game against Stuttgart in the 18th round of the 2020-21 season, which ended in Schwarzwald-Stadion, Germany on the 24th (Korean time), scoring the winning goal in the 37th minute of the 1-1 situation. Freiburg, who won 1 draw and 1 loss earlier, and won 2-1 on the same day and won the victory after three games, maintained the 9th place by accumulating 27 points (7 wins, 6 draws and 5 losses). Stuttgart with 2 consecutive losses was 10th (22 points).

Jeong Woo-young, who started the season with Stuttgart in September last year, played 80 minutes as a starter against Stuttgart after about four months. In the 7th minute of the first half of Stuttgart, Silas Wamangituka scored the opening goal in a second ball situation, raising momentum. But Freiburg soon balanced it. In the 14th minute of the first half, as the Stuttgart defender pushed the ball caught by Jung Woo-young from the penalty area to the side, Ermedin Demirovic ran into the goal with a right-footed shot. In the 37th minute of the first half, Jung Woo-young won Demirović’s hill pass ahead of the opponent’s defender, hitting it into the penalty box, and flipping the game with a left-footed shot.

Freiburg gave a penalty in the 45th minute of the first half, but a sigh was saved by goalkeeper Florian Müller, and no additional goals were scored and the match ended. Jung Woo-young suffered bleeding from his face hitting Wamangituka’s elbow in the mid-air ball competition in the 21st minute of the second half, but he returned to the ground after receiving first aid and showed injuries until he was replaced in the second half of the 35th minute. Kwon Chang-hoon (27) of the same team was unable to compete in the fourth game of the day due to a knee injury.

Leipzig’s Hwang Hee-chan (25) was substituted in the 32nd minute of the second half when the team lagged 2-3 in the away game against the relegation zone Mainz on this day, but did not prevent the defeat. Mainz’s Dongwon Ji was removed from the list. Leipzig ranked second in the league (35 points), and Mainz ranked 17th (10 points).
