Substituted Lee Kang-in scores powerful left-footed goal… PSG returns to the top with a 'big win'
Lee Kang-in scored for PSG as they defeated Marseille 5-0, reclaiming the top spot in Ligue 1.
Lee Kang-in, a 24-year-old player for Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), scored his second goal of the league season in a dominating 5-0 victory against Marseille on January 9, 2025. This win allowed PSG to reclaim the top position in Ligue 1 with 51 points, just ahead of Lens, following their seventh consecutive victory. The match took place at Parc des Princes in Paris, highlighting PSG's strong performance in the league since their prior match against Strasbourg, where Kang-in also made a significant contribution with an assist.
Substituted into the game in the 68th minute when PSG was leading 4-0, Kang-in made an immediate impact by scoring just six minutes later. After receiving a precise pass from teammate Seni Mayulu, he skillfully maneuvered into the penalty area and unleashed a powerful left-footed shot that found the back of the net, demonstrating his ability to bounce back from a thigh injury he suffered at the end of the previous year. In addition to his two league goals and two assists this season, Kang-in has now contributed a total of three goals and three assists across all official matches.
The match featured a multitude of scoring highlights for PSG, including two goals from Ousmane Dembélé, a notable own goal from the opposition, and a goal from Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. This comprehensive victory reinforces PSG's dominance in Ligue 1 and signifies the team's potential for the remainder of the season as they aim for another championship.
