Union Berlin striker Jung Woo-young (27) scored the winning goal against his former team, but failed to get on board the Hong Myung-bo Team.

Union Berlin won 1-0 thanks to Jung Woo-young's extra-time winning goal in the 26th round of the "2025-2026 German Bundesliga" against Freiburg at Europa Park Stadion in Freiburg, Germany on the 16th (Korea time).

Union Berlin, which lost its second consecutive game, rose to ninth place in the league with 31 points (8 wins, 7 draws and 11 losses). Furyburg was ranked eighth with 34 points (9 wins, 7 draws and 10 losses).

Jung Woo-young, who started on the bench, was replaced by Tim Skark in the 20th minute of the second half. Jung Woo-young, who was diligently looking for an opportunity by moving between the side and the center, scored the winning goal in extra time in the second half.

In the second half of extra time, Jung Woo-young, who caught the ball on the right side, took off the defender and came to the right side of the penalty box, then wrapped it with his left foot to shake the net. As a result, Jung Woo-young scored his third goal in the league and fourth official goal in two months after scoring against Stuttgart in January.

It was a shot at putting a dagger in his old team. Jung Woo-young played four seasons for Freiburg from 2019 to July 2023.

Even if he scored a goal for the first time in a long time, it was not enough to be called by head coach Hong Myung-bo. Coach Hong Myung-bo announced the list of 27 players to play in two consecutive A matches in March at 2 p.m. at Korea Football Park in Cheonan, Chungcheongnam-do, but there was no name for Jung Woo-young.

Coach Hong Myung-bo selected Captain Son Heung-min (LA FC), Oh Hyun-kyu (Henk), Cho Kyu-sung (Mit Willan), Lee Kang-in (Paris Saint-Germain), Hwang Hee-chan (Wolverhampton), Lee Jae-sung (Mines), Yang Hyun-joon (Celtic), Bae Joon-ho (Stoke City), and Um Ji-sung (Swansea) as the strikers.

Jung Woo-young has not been selected for the national team for more than a year since the 3rd qualifying round for the Asian region of the 2026 FIFA 2026 FIFA North and Central America World Cup in November. Under coach Hong Myung-bo, which began in September, there were a total of 10 calls for the national team, but only one of them was selected. Even at the time of the call-up in November, he was not able to play on the bench, and his last A match was against Thailand in March last year.
