Kang-in Lee’s First Assist of the Season Leads Atletico to Victory Against Sevilla

Lee Kang-in Delivers First Assist in Atletico Madrid Win

Playing in his second start since joining Atletico Madrid from Paris Saint-Germain this summer, Lee made an immediate impact on the pitch. Just four minutes into the fixture, the midfielder collected possession on the right flank before driving inward with a sharp dribble. Spotting a teammate’s run behind the opposition’s defensive line, Lee unlocked the Sevilla defense with a precise through ball that allowed Baena to finish calmly and break the deadlock.

The assist builds on a strong start to his career, which included a goal scored off the bench against Malaga during the opening week of the campaign.

First-Half Goals Secure the Three Points

Atletico’s early breakthrough set the tone for a commanding first-half display from the visitors. Ademola Lookman doubled the advantage in the 26th minute. Minutes later, Baena struck again in the 33rd minute to notch his second of the match and Atletico’s third, effectively putting the contest out of reach before the halftime interval.

Sevilla attempted a response in the second half, pulling a goal back in the 66th minute. However, the visitors organized defensively to weather the pressure. Lee remained involved in the proceedings before being substituted in the 72nd minute, having contributed to the 3-1 scoreline.
