Jens Kastrov (23, Borussia Mönchengladbach), who was dropped early due to injury after boarding the Hong Myung-bo Team, made his first Bundesliga help as soon as he returned to his team.

Mönchengladbach drew 2-2 at home in the 28th round of the German Bundesliga from 2025 to 2026 at Borussia Parc in Glatbach, Germany on the 4th (Korea time).

Mönchengladbach, who continued their two-match draw, finished 13th out of 18 teams with 30 points (7 wins, 9 draws and 12 losses). Heidenheim is still at the bottom with 16 points (3 wins, 7 draws and 18 losses).

Starting at left wing-back in the 3-4-2-1 formation, Castrov played full season and recorded his first league career help.

In the 16th minute of the first half, when the score was 0-0, Castrov penetrated from the left side to the left side of the penalty box and gave up the pass to the center. Bael Mohiya caught it and connected it with a shot, and the ball hit the goalkeeper and headed into the goal.

It was Castrov's first help of the season and the first help of the Bundesliga. Kastrov, who spent four seasons in the Bundesliga in January 2022 wearing a Nuremberg uniform, moved to Mönchengladbach in February last year. Debuting in the Bundesliga this season, he scored three goals but no help.

Castrov, who scored two goals in the previous match against FC Cologne (3-3 draw) to score his first multi-goal since his professional debut, also scored offensive points for two consecutive games.

According to "Foot Mob," which specializes in soccer statistics, Castrov created the most opportunities (4 times) in both teams. Footmob gave Castrov a team-high rating of 8.0.

Earlier, Castrov joined the South Korean national soccer team led by head coach Hong Myung-bo shortly after the match against Cologne, but was lifted early with only the bench in the Ivory Coast (0-4 loss) in the aftermath of the injury suffered against Cologne. Since then, the national team has lost 0-1 to Austria in their second warm-up match.

Although the A-match was canceled, the recovery speed was fast. Immediately after returning to his team, he played full season and raised the offensive point. Kastrov is a multi-resource member of the national team between central midfielder and wingback. His quick recovery is also a boon to coach Hong Myung-bo, who is only two months away from the 2026 2026 FIFA North and Central America World Cup.

On this day, Mönchengladbach also drew the first goal helped by Kastrov. After the first goal, he allowed Patrik Mainka to equalize in the 26th minute of the first half. Then, in the 19th minute of the second half, Marnon Busch scored a come-from-behind goal. Fortunately, Franck Honora scored an equalizer in the 29th minute of the second half to avoid defeat.
