Bayern Munich (Germany) defender Kim Min-jae engaged in a ‘Korean derby’ with Grasshopper Club Zurich (Switzerland) striker Lee Young-jun in a friendly match.

On the 20th (Korean time), Munich won 4-0 in a friendly match against Grasshopper held at FC Bayern Campus Platz 1 in Munich, Germany.

National soccer team member Kim Min-jae and age group representative Lee Young-jun faced each other after being substituted in the second half.

With the start of the second half, Lee Young-jun was brought in, and Kim Min-jae came in at 17 minutes into the second half, making the Korean derby a reality.

As these two players are at the center of Munich’s defense and Grasshopper’s offense, they had a fierce match.

The winner was Munich. Munich took the lead with Michael Olysse’s goal in the 12th minute of the first half and Harry Kane’s additional goal in the 2nd minute of the second half.

Following this, Matthias Tell scored the winning goal in the 23rd minute of the second half and Thomas Muller scored the finishing goal in the 46th minute of the second half to secure a complete victory by 4 points.

Kim Min-jae finished his warm-up with the match against Grasshopper following the match against Ulm in the first round of the German Football Association (DFB) Pokal.

His first task is to secure a starting position under manager Vincent Kompany at the beginning of the season.

Munich and Kim Min-jae are preparing for the opening match of the 2024-2025 season German Bundesliga 1st round against Wolfsburg, which will be held at the Volkswagen Arena in Wolfsburg, Germany on the 25th.

Lee Young-jun made his unofficial debut against Munich on the 30th of last month after joining Grasshopper.

He will be responsible for leading Grasshopper’s front line, which was struggling with a scoring rate that was at the bottom of the league last season.

Grasshopper and Lee Young-jun will prepare for the 5th round home match of the ‘2024-2025 Swiss Super League’ season against Sion, which will be held at Letzigrund in Zurich, Switzerland on the 25th.
