Lee Kang-in, wearing the Atletico Madrid jersey in La Liga, scored his second goal of the season during his first full-time start since transferring to the club.
On September 17, in a home match against Osasuna at the Cívitas Metropolitano Stadium in Madrid, Lee started and contributed to the team's 4-0 victory in the sixth round of the 2026-2027 La Liga season.
Playing as a right midfielder in Diego Simeone's 4-4-2 formation, Lee displayed lively movement from the beginning of the match. He found the net in the 54th minute, scoring after receiving a pass from Jonathan David during a counterattack. With a calm right-footed shot inside the penalty area, he accurately placed the ball into the bottom corner of the net, showcasing his finishing ability with his non-dominant foot.
This goal marked Lee's second of the season, following his debut goal in the league opener against Malaga on August 20. He now has a total of 2 goals and 1 assist in 6 league matches.
Additionally, this match was Lee's first time playing the full 90 minutes since returning to Spain from Paris Saint-Germain this summer. His performance earned him the Man of the Match (MOM) title, marking his second MVP selection of the season after the league opener.
Football statistics site Footmob awarded Lee the highest rating of 9.0 among all players.
