Um Ji-sung made his first league offensive point since moving to Europe.
Swansea City tied Bristol City 1-1 in the seventh round of the English Championship (minor league) of the 2024-25 season at the Liberty Stadium in Swansea, Wales, at 11 p.m. on Tuesday (Korea time). With the win, Swansea ranked ninth in the league with three wins, two draws and two losses (11 points).
Um Ji-sung made the league's first assist. In the 15th minute of the first half, Um Ji-sung, who was a kicker, sent an elaborate pass in front of the goal, and Ben Cabango, who rushed into the goal, finished with a volley shot to shake the net. Swansea took the lead overall, but Bristol also tried to attack with force. Jason Knight equalized in the 31st minute of the second half, and the match ended in a 1-1 draw.
He only had one point, but Um Ji-sung showed consistent performance. He played 89 minutes based on the soccer statistics media "Foot Mob" and recorded two shots, one key pass, 64 ball touches, one dribble, two crosses, one cross, one interception, one dribble, one ground ball competition, and 100 percent success rate of competition (two out of two) in the air ball competition. His rating was 7.6 points, which was the second highest among the teams.
Wales Online, which reported Swansea, gave Um seven points. He was the second player in the team. The media said, "He is probably one of the best performers ever since coming to Swansea. He was the key to the decisive early goal. He is another promising step forward to take control of the championship."
Um Ji-sung made his European debut for the first time in last summer. Having been the center of the sensation with Gwangju FC, Um moved to Swansea City, the championship team where Ki Sung-yueng played, in July. Since the season's opening, he has played as a starter in all seven league games and posted one assist in two EFL Cup matches, recording his first offensive point since moving to Europe. Thursday's assist was his first assist in the league.
Through his performance, he also joined the A-match national soccer team in September. In the aftermath of Bae Joon-ho's injury, coach Hong Myung-bo said he decided to give Um a chance, and Um Ji-sung was named in the national team for the first time in two years since he first joined the A-team in January 2022. 토토사이트
Um Ji-sung stayed on the bench in the first round of the third Asian qualifying round for the 2026 North-China World Cup against Palestine, but he played on the ground for a minute just before the end of the match against Oman. Attention is focusing on whether he will be able to be selected on the list again as he scored his first offensive point in the league ahead of the announcement of the list for Game 3 and 4 against Jordan and Iraq scheduled on the 30th.
