The team gets a 1-1 draw
Um Ji-sung, Swansea City scored his first offensive point since his league debut.
Swansea drew 1-1 at home in the seventh round of the 2024/25 English Football League EFL Championship at the Liberty Stadium in Swansea, Wales, on the 29th.
Um Ji-sung, who started as left winger on the day, reported his first offensive point in the league in two months after joining the team, receiving congratulations from his teammates. He helped Ben Cabango score the first goal with a sharp corner kick in the 15th minute of the first half.
Um Ji-sung played as a substitute in the second half of the first round 3-1 of the 2024/25 Carabao Cup last month, and made his first assist since joining the European stage in extra time, when his opponent’s concentration was disrupted. He has yet to display a scoring capacity.
Um Ji-sung, who played about 89 minutes against Bristol, showed remarkable performance with 100 percent success rate in aerial ball competition, 70 percent success rate in pass, seven recovery, two shots, one chance making, and one dribble success. The soccer statistics media “FotMob” gave Um a 7.6 point rating, the second highest in the team.
The fact that the team failed to secure three points leaves a deep regret. Swansea lost a point to Jason Knight in the 31st minute of the second half to end the match 1-1 draw, and remained in ninth place with three wins, two draws and two losses and 11 points.
Meanwhile, with national team coach Hong Myung-bo’s announcement of the A-match list in October just around the corner, whether Um Ji-sung will be selected is drawing attention.
Um Ji-sung was also called by coach Hong Myung-bo in September, and took the ground for a while on behalf of Lee Kang-in Paris Saint-Germain just before the end of the second Group B match 3-1 win of the Asian qualifying round for the 2026 FIFA North-China World Cup.
