This is Lee Kang-in's first goal in the regular league since joining PSG.

Lee Kang-in, who started as a left midfielder, completed all 47 passes and recorded a 100% pass success rate.
He made one key pass that led to a scoring opportunity, and recorded 10 crosses, the most in the team, for 61 minutes until he was replaced by Vitinya in the 16th minute of the second half.
French media Le Parisien said, "Honestly, we didn't know whether Lee Kang-in would be as surprising as expected or whether he would be a rookie who didn't need attention like so many failed examples."
He added, "The Korean player will bring vitality to the midfield line and play well."
“It’s becoming more and more fun to watch,” he said.
He added, “Recently, Lee Kang-in’s performance has been outstanding.
“Lee Kang-in played a decisive role in all three recent (official) games,” he said.
Lee Kang-in scored on this day and scored an offensive point in three consecutive games.
On the 29th of last month, he recorded his first assist in the 10th round away game against Brest, and on the 26th, he scored his debut goal for PSG in the UEFA Champions League (UCL) group stage match against AC Milan (Italy).
Le Parisien, referring to his score against AC Milan, said, "In the match against Brest, he delivered a wonderful pass reminiscent of Angel Di Maria to Kylian Mbappe, leading to a 3-2 victory."
He praised, "But even this cannot compare to his perfect performance against Montpellier.
Lee Kang-in touched the ball 73 times and passed 47 times, all of which were successful."
Coach Luis Enrique also praised Lee Kang-in.
According to Le Parisien, coach Enrique mentioned Lee Kang-in after the game and evaluated him as ‘a player who can play in any position.’
He continued, “He is a player with personality.
He is good physically and is a perfect player,” adding, “It is a great signing for the club.”
He praised Lee Kang-in not only for his production of attack points but also for his balanced performance in offense and defense, and Footmob, a soccer statistics media, also gave Lee Kang-in a high rating of 8.3 for his contribution in defense, including winning six ground ball duels.
In fact, Coach Enrique, perhaps satisfied with his performance that day, called Lee Kang-in in early and gave him a rest, raising expectations for him to appear as a starter in the away game against AC Milan in the UCL group stage, which will be held four days later on the 8th.
