Paris Saint-Germain’s Lee Kang-in recorded his second assist of the season in his final game of the year.
Lee set up Vitinha’s goal in the fourth minute of the second half of the French club’s 3-1 win over FC Metz in the 17th round of the 2023-2024 French Ligue 1 match at the Parc des Princes in Paris, France, on Jan. 21 (ET).
Lee’s left-footed cross from the right was met by Vitinha, who was rushing into the box, with a precise right-footed finish that rattled the net.
It was his second assist of the season in two months, after a 3-2 win over Brest on Oct. 29.
Paris Saint-Germain, buoyed by a goal at 0-0, used a Kylian Mbappe brace to seal a 3-1 victory.
Mbappe scored his second goal of the game in the 15th minute, curling in a ball from Vitor Pereira with his right foot, and then added a second in the 38th minute. 카지노사이트777
The multi-goal performance was Mbappe’s 18th of the season, keeping him in sole possession of the league lead.
Metz was unable to pull a goal back in the 27th minute when Mathieu Udol headed in a corner kick from the left by Lamine Camara.
Paris’ attacking flow was not easily penetrated, with just three shots on goal and one on target in the first half.
Lee Kang-in, who started on the left midfield, tried to bring the attacking flow to Paris by moving between the flanks and the center of the pitch, but without much success.
Paris Saint-Germain head coach Luis Enrique made a change at the start of the second half, moving Lee to the right wing, where he immediately responded with a ‘courier cross’.
The win keeps Paris at the top of the league with 12 wins, 4 draws and 1 loss (40 points).
Metz remained in 14th place with four wins, four draws, and nine losses.”
He has the best technique, he’s very good defensively and he sacrifices himself for the team,” Enrique said of Lee before the game, “It’s great to have a player like that in the team.”
Lee now has two goals and two assists in all competitions this season, including one in the league.
With a strong finish to the year, Lee will now join the South Korean national team for the 2023 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Qatar Asian Cup next January.
