SEOUL, Nov. 27 (Korea Bizwire) — FC Red Bull Salzburg’s South Korean forward Hwang Hee-chan scored his ninth goal of the season on Sunday (local time) in his club’s 3-2 win over SK Rapid Wien in the top Austrian football league.
With Salzburg trailing 1-0, Hwang scored an equalizer against Rapid Wien in first half stoppage time at Allianz Stadium in Vienna. It was Hwang’s ninth goal of the 2017-18 season in all competitions and his first Austrian Bundesliga goal since Aug. 20, when he scored against SKN St. Polten. The 21-year-old now has four goals in eight league matches.
Hwang, who joined the Austrian outfit December 2014, also bagged a goal in Salzburg’s 3-0 win over Vitoria SC in the UEFA Europa League match on Thursday.
Hwang, who started as a lone striker against Rapid Wien, found the net following a pass from Andreas Ulmer. Salzburg made the score 3-1 after goals from Ulmer and Reinhold Yabo in the early second half. Salzburg allowed a goal in the 76th minute, but were able to hold on to collect a 3-2 win in the end.
The latest victory allowed Salzburg to top the league standings with 37 points from 11 wins, four draws and one loss, two points above Sturm Graz.
