Lee Jae-seong of Mainz in the German Bundesliga played very well, leading the team to 3 consecutive games undefeated (2 wins, 1 draw). Mainz, which is struggling to remain in the game this season, desperately needs Lee Jae-sung’s performance to create a dramatic turnaround.

Jae-seong Lee scored 2 goals and 1 assist in the 28th round of the 2023-24 German Bundesliga against Darmstadt, which ended at the Mewa Arena in Mainz, Germany on the 7th (Korean time), leading to a 4-0 victory.

After the game, Lee Jae-seong received a rating of 1 from local media outlet Bild and was recognized as the team’s best performer. Germany gives ratings on a scale of 1 to 6, and the better the performance, the lower the rating.

Looking back on Lee Jae-seong’s performance, the favorable reviews are completely understandable. Lee Jae-seong, who started as a second-line midfielder, assisted Hensch Olsen’s first goal in the 32nd minute of the first half.

Then, in the 35th minute of the second half when he was leading 2-0, he stepped up to the plate and scored the team’s third goal and his third goal of the season. Lee Jae-seong, who increased the momentum, became the protagonist of the victory by scoring the team’s fourth goal four minutes later.

In addition, Jae-seong Lee became the number one contributor to the team’s complete victory, recording a pass success rate of 82%, 2 chance creations, and 3 effective shots.

From Mainz’s perspective, Lee Jae-sung’s performance is welcome. Mainz showed signs of instability from the start, losing nine consecutive league games this season. They appeared to change the mood by defeating Leipzig 2-0 in the 10th round of the Bundesliga, but then suffered another sluggish streak of 11 consecutive games without a win.

Defense was also a problem, but there was hardly a player in sight who could score a goal. Mainz has 26 points in 28 games so far, ranking 3rd in minimum scores behind Cologne (23 points) and Union Berlin (25 goals).

Karim Onigbo, who scored the most goals in the team last season with 10 goals, has not scored a single goal this season. Markus Ingvartsen, who scored 10 goals with Onizibo, moved to Norsjälland (Denmark) ahead of this season.

In a situation where the offense is poor, Lee Jae-seong is doing his part. Jae-seong Lee has scored 4 goals and 3 assists, including 2 goals and 2 assists in the last 3 games in which Mainz is undefeated, and is recording the most attack points in the team.

Mainz is having difficulty gaining points in the early stages and is currently in 16th place with 23 points with 6 league games remaining. However, with an upward trend in the last three games, the point gap with 15th place Bochum (26 points) has narrowed to 3 points, revealing the prospect of remaining. In order for Mainz to gain even more strength for the remainder of the season, Lee Jae-sung needs his performance.
