It is the 5th goal in the league after a month after the key goal from the 20th round against Fortuna Düsseldorf on the 9th of last month. Together with the two goals scored by the German Football Association (DFB) Focal, it is the 7th goal in the season. However, in the 23rd minute of the first half, Kiel equalized Jimon Terode and drew 1-1 in the end. This day’s confrontation drew more attention as it was against Hamburg, where rumors of the promotion of the recruitment of Lee Jae-sung were circulating.
