South Korean footballer Lee Seung-woo made his debut in Belgium four months after being transferred to Sint-Truidense V.V.

Lee was substituted in the 69th minute when his squad was losing 0-1 against Waasland-Beveren in the 21st round of the 2019-2020 Jupiler League held at Feethiel Stadion stadium in Beveren on Friday. The 20-year-old showed great performance as a second-line striker but failed to carry an offense point.

Lee started to build his career overseas at FC Barcelona Infantil A in Spain in 2011 and was transferred to Hallas Verona F.C. in Serie A in 2017. Lee joined the Belgian squad on Aug. 30 this year. After having a three-week break, Sint-Truidense will have a game on Jan. 19.
