Bafana Bafana star Veldwijk grabs late winner on debut for Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors

Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors forward Lars Veldwijk marked his K-League 1 debut with a stoppage-time which goal handed his side a 2-1 away win over Busan IPark at Busan Gudeok Stadium on Saturday.

After missing Jeonbuk Motors’ season opener at home to Suwon Bluewings last weekend, Veldwijk finally made his K-League 1 bow, coming off the bench in the 58th minute to inspire his side to a crucial away victory.

With football on hold in most parts of the world due to the coronavirus pandemic, the 28-year-old became the first South African to return to action, having made his official Jeonbuk Motors debut in the AFC Champions League vs Sydney FC on March 4 before football was suspended.
