After leaving Real Mallorca to join Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), Lee was granted a military exemption after winning gold at the Hangzhou Asian Games. It wasn’t an easy transition, but he made it and played a role in the gold medal. After the Hangzhou Asian Games, he was recalled to the USS Klinsmann and returned to South Korea. He was welcomed home with open arms and made a tremendous impact, starting both games against Tunisia and Vietnam.
He scored two game-changing goals against Tunisia. He scored a fantastic free kick goal when Tunisia’s strong defense was stalling the game. It was Lee’s debut goal in an A-match. He followed it up with another goal to make it 2-0. After Lee’s multi-goal performance, South Korea exploded and finished the game 4-0.
After proving his competitiveness, Lee also started against Vietnam. Lee’s perfect ball control allowed him to outrun the Vietnamese defense. He linked up with Lee Jae-sung and Son Heung-min to tear apart the Vietnamese defense. He assisted on Kim Min-jae’s goal for Seoje and continued to create chances with sharp passes and crosses. With the score 4-0 in favor of South Korea, Lee scored his second goal of the game.
Hwang Hee-chan broke through and found Son Heung-min. He played the ball to Lee, who beat his defender and rattled the net with a calm left-footed shot. Lee roared with an uppercut. It was his third A-Match goal and second in a row. Lee’s goal was followed by a goal from Jung Woo-young to give South Korea a 6-0 victory.
