Lee Young-jun Scores After 6 Months: Will Grasshopper FC Turn Their Season Around?

[Sports Today reporter Kang Tae-gu] Lee Young-jun, the Grasshopper forward playing in Switzerland, ended a six-month goal drought.

Grasshopper fell 5-1 at Arena Thun in Thun, Switzerland on the 15th (Korean time) in Round 30 of the 2025–26 Super League.

The defeat leaves Grasshopper with a 5-9-16 record (24 points), sitting 11th in the 12-team table. Thun solidified first place with a 23-2-5 record (71 points).

Starting up front, Lee broke the deadlock in the 17th minute. Luke Plange floated a cross in from the right, and Lee redirected it with his left at the near post.

It was his first goal in six months — his previous strike came from a penalty against Lausanne in Round 6 last September. Lee missed large chunks of this season while recovering from injury.

He stayed on the pitch until the 80th minute as he chased a second goal, but couldn’t stop the collapse.

Grasshopper conceded two goals in the first half to fall behind and then shipped three more after the break as Thun completed the comeback.
