South Korean center back Lee Han-beom scored his first goal in Belgian soccer to help Club Brugge secure a third consecutive victory before joining coach Moreno's first national team squad.

Brugge beat Genk 3-0 at Jan Breydel Stadium in Bruges, Belgium, on Monday, Korean time, in the seventh round of the Belgian Pro League.

The victory lifted Brugge to third with 18 points.

Lee started at center back in a 4-2-3-1 formation and played the full match. He headed in his team's second goal in the 58th minute and recorded 12 defensive contributions to help secure the shutout.

Sofascore named Lee its player of the match, awarding him a team-high rating of 8.8.

He scored with his only shot and recorded two tackles and three interceptions. He also won all three of his ground duels and nine of 13 aerial duels.

Lee, who joined Brugge from Denmark's Midtjylland in August, has established himself as a first-choice center back, starting all seven league games this season.

Carlos Forbs opened the scoring in the 13th minute to give Brugge a 1-0 halftime lead before Lee doubled the advantage.

Lee met Joaquin Seys' free kick with a header in front of goal, scoring his first goal and registering his first goal contribution since joining Brugge.
