Seol Young-woo recorded an assist on his Augsburg debut. The South Korean full-back set up Rodrigo Ribeiro's goal just 90 seconds after coming on as a substitute, securing his first Bundesliga attacking contribution.
How the assist came about
In stoppage time, Hennes Behrens passed to Anton Kade, who switched the ball wide to the right. Seol Young-woo needed only one touch to drive a low cross into the box, where Ribeiro finished from a tight angle past Loris Karius.
When did he play
The match took place on Saturday, August 27, 2026, at the WWK Arena. Augsburg were already leading 2-0 against ten-man Schalke, who had Ron Schallenberg sent off. Seol came on for Marius Wolf in the 88th minute and immediately influenced the winning goal.
Who is Seol Young-woo
Seol joined Augsburg from Red Star Belgrade for a reported fee of €3.75m plus add-ons. He had just finished South Korea's 2026 World Cup campaign, starting all three group games. He becomes the fourth Korean to play for Augsburg, wearing the iconic No.7 shirt as a defender after Koo Ja-cheol, Ji Dong-won and Hong Jeong-ho.
What's next
With Keven Schlotterbeck's move to Southampton altering Augsburg's defensive options, and Marius Wolf and Robin Fellhauer ahead of him on the right, Seol's path to regular minutes remains competitive. However, his composed, error-free debut performance has marked him as a candidate for future selection. His next challenge is the away fixture at Eintracht Frankfurt, with full details available on our fixtures page.
