South Korean players shone side by side on the German Bundesliga stage. In the Korean Derby, Lee Jae-sung (33, Mainz) and Jung Woo-young (26, Woonion Berlin) scored attack points side by side.

Jung Woo-young's team Berlin and Lee Jae-sung's Mainz drew 2-2 in the 16th round of the 2025-2026 Bundesliga at Stadion-An der Alten Försterai in Berlin, Germany on the 10th (Korea time).

Union Berlin, which has been undefeated (2 wins and 1 draw) in the last three consecutive games due to the draw, is ninth with six wins, four draws, six losses and 22 points. On the other hand, Mainz, who has been mired in a swamp of 12 consecutive league games (5 draws and 7 losses), ranked 18th, the lowest with 1 win, 6 draws, 9 losses, and 9 points.

Two Korean players dominated the Bundesliga game. Lee Jae-sung started and helped the team score the first goal, and Jung Woo-young was substituted and scored a comeback goal that sparked Berlin's pursuit.

Football statistics media 'Foot Mob' praised the two players. Lee Jae-sung received an 8.1 rating, recording four key passes, including one assist, and two decisive opportunities. Jung Woo-young, who was substituted and played for only 20 minutes and scored one shot, also gave a high score of 7.5 points.

It was up to Lee Jae-sung to gain the upper hand. Lee Jae-sung, who started as a central midfielder, poked an exquisite penetration pass into the penalty box near the half-line in the 30th minute of the first half. Nadhim Amiri connected it with a left-footed volley shot to shake the net.

It's a score that shines with individual ability. Berlin's back space collapsed with Lee Jae-sung's pass. Lee Jae-sung's left foot kick drew a trajectory of avoiding the defense and then exquisitely fell on Amiri's feet.

Lee Jae-sung even served as the starting point for the extra goal. In the 24th minute of the second half, Nicolas Ferratshunich received a pass from the left side and crossed it after breaking through, and Benedict Ruhlbach finished it and Mainz ran away 2-0.

Woonion Berlin, which had a lot of defeat, replaced Jung Woo-young and Christopher Trimel in the 26th minute of the second half, which hit the mark.

Jung Woo-young came out as a troubleshooter six minutes after stepping on the ground. Derick Kön's cross from the left side was connected with a diving header in which Jung Woo-young rushed to the gate and blew himself to score a chasing goal. It was Jung Woo-young's first goal in the league this season.

Union Berlin, riding the flow, brought the game back to square one in the 41st minute with Marin Ljubicic's equalizer. In a free kick situation, when Danilyo Duki's header hit the crossbar, Lyubic pushed it back to his head to make it a 2-2 draw.
