South Korean defender Lee Kang-hee scored his first goal of the season just two minutes after coming off the bench to rescue a 2-2 draw for Austria Wien against Grazer AK.
Lee struck in the 81st minute with Austria Wien trailing 2-1 in its seventh Austrian Bundesliga game of the season at Merkur Arena in Graz, Austria, Saturday.
The draw extended Austria Wien's unbeaten run to two games following a 2-1 comeback victory in which Lee assisted on the winner. The team stood ninth with seven points.
Lee Tae-seok started at left wingback against GAK, while Lee Kang-hee began on the bench.
Austria Wien conceded the opener in the 15th minute, but Manfred Fischer equalized in the 45th to send the teams into halftime level at 1-1.
After conceding again in the 55th minute, Austria Wien took Lee Tae-seok off in the 70th and brought on Lee Kang-hee in the 79th to bolster its defense.
Lee Kang-hee delivered the equalizer two minutes later.
Johannes Eggestein sent a free kick into the penalty area from the right side of midfield, and Aleksandar Dragovic flicked it on with a header. Lee raced toward the left side of the six-yard box and finished with a first-time left-footed shot.
The equalizer came with Lee's first touch of the game.
It was his first competitive goal of the season and his first for Austria Wien since joining the club in June last year.
Lee now has one goal and one assist in league play this season. His contributions in consecutive games have helped secure valuable points, following his assist on the stoppage-time winner in Austria Wien's previous match.
