National soccer team midfielder Lee Jae-sung (34, Mainz) led his team to victory with his first assist of the league season.

On the 7th (Korea time), Lee started in the away match against Hamburg in Round 2 of the 2026-2027 German Bundesliga at Volksparkstadion in Hamburg, Germany. In the 38th minute of the second half, with his team leading 3-0, he provided a sharp one-touch pass to assist Philipp Tietz's additional goal. Tietz, receiving Lee's pass, shook the net with a left-footed shot from directly in front of the goal area.

This marked Lee's first league assist of the season and his second official competition assist, following his earlier contribution in Round 1 of the German Football Association (DFB) Pokal against VfB Kirchhain.

After a stellar performance, Lee was substituted for Otto Loepi in the 43rd minute of the second half when his team led 4-0 and finished the match. Post-match, sports statistics specialist 'Sofascore' awarded Lee a rating of 7 points, highly praising his performance.

Mainz showcased their powerful firepower on this day, securing a decisive 5-0 victory. The match began with Geraldo Becker's opening goal in the 19th minute of the first half, receiving a pass from Sano Kaiju. In the 41st minute, Philipp Mbene pushed in Becker's low cross to widen the score gap.

Tietz scored two goals in the 3rd and 38th minutes of the second half, while Lanceford Konigsdorfer sealed the victory with a late goal, capping off the dominant win.

With this decisive victory, Mainz recorded their first win of the season, improving to 1 win and 1 draw (4 points) after the opening matches and climbing to fifth place in the league. In contrast, Hamburg fell into a slump with two consecutive losses (0 points) since the start of the season.
