K League 1 Recap: 2017 K League MVP Lee Jae-sung shines again while foreign players prove themselves

1. The Best Goal

2017 K League Classic MVP Lee Jae-sung had not scored in the past six league games. In this round, Lee ended his goal drought.

Jeonbuk Hyundai were about to celebrate their fifth consecutive win with Lee Dong-gook’s brace on 60th and 92nd minutes. Before the final whistle, Lee added another goal. It took three touches for this prominent midfielder to run Jeonnam’s three defenders ragged. As he saw the goalkeeper coming out, directed the ball to the opposite direction.

This goal proved Lee’s technics and creativity.
