National team fullback Seol Young-woo (Trvena Zvezda) scored his debut goal two games after his European debut.
Seol Young-woo shook the net in the 9th minute of the first half in the fourth round of the 2024-2025 Serbian Super Liga against Novipazar at Leiko Mitic Stadium in Belgrade, Serbia on the 11th (Korea time).
Seol Young-woo, who joined Zvezda, who left Ulsan in June, and made his European debut through the third round of the league against Textilac on the 4th, got off to a good start by quickly scoring his debut goal in his second game in a week.
Zvezda, who took the lead with Seol Young-woo's first goal, scored three goals in the second half and won 4-1. He maintained the lead with two consecutive wins and four consecutive undefeated games (3 wins and 1 draw).
Seol Young-woo, who played left-back, had a great chance in the 9th minute of the first half. Hwang In-beom, who played as a central midfielder, stabbed a cross from the right side of the penalty toward the gate. Nemanja Stoichi caught the ball that hit the defender and gave it to Seol Young-woo, who was next to him, and Seol Young-woo put the ball in the left corner of the goal with an accurate right-footed mid-range shot, although it was a long distance of more than 20 meters. Scored with his first shot in Europe.

Seol Young-woo smiled brightly and ran toward the bench and hugged coach Vladan Milojevic.
Seol Young-woo played full-time for 90 minutes, playing 85 times of ball touch, 85 percent of pass success rate, five times of clearing, two successful ground matches, two key passes and one tackle. Statistics firm `SofaScore' gave Seol a high rating of 7.8, the third in the team.
After the game, Seol Young-woo shared a video of his debut goal on his personal SNS, adding '@CoupangPlay' and a prayer emoji to his sales. It is hoped that Coupang Play will broadcast it so that domestic soccer fans can watch the Zvezda game. Coupang Play broadcasts some European small and medium-sized leagues, but not Serbian leagues.

Hwang In-beom also played 90 minutes alongside his national team teammate Seol Young-woo to help him win a big victory. Hwang In-beom recorded an 88 percent pass success rate, two key passes, four successful ground matches, three tackles, and one effective shot. In the 41st minute of the second half, when his team was leading 3-1, he helped Jose Luis Rodríguez score the net with a 'start pass'. 'Sofascore' has a rating of 7.3. Hwang In-beom, who is the Serbian Player of the Year in the 2023-2024 season, is still showing off his skills by racing to the top of the league (8.55 points, based on the sofa score) on the 11th.
Hwang In-beom is looking at an opportunity to advance to the big league this summer, but according to local media, he signed a gentleman's agreement to play for Zvezda until August, when the European club competition qualifying round will be held.
