South Korean midfielder Lee Jae-sung picked up his first Bundesliga assist of the campaign as Mainz routed Hamburg 5-0 on Sunday.

The 34-year-old started the Matchday 2 contest at Hamburg's Volksparkstadion and created Mainz's fourth goal in the 83rd minute. Lee sent a through ball to Phillip Tietz, who finished with his left foot to extend the lead to 4-0.

The assist was Lee's second in all competitions this season after he also set up a goal against fifth-tier VfB Krieschow in the opening round of the DFB-Pokal on Aug. 24.

Otto Ruoppi replaced Lee in the 88th minute before Ransford Königsdörffer added Mainz's fifth goal in stoppage time.

Following a draw in its opener, Mainz now has four points from one victory and one draw and sits fifth in the standings.
