Registered two goals and an assist (yet again with his head) versus Darmstadt. An under-appreciated aspect of his game is his aerial ability. He is surprisingly very good at using his head (6 goals and 4 assists with his head during his time in the Bundesliga), with 40% of his Bundesliga goal involvements being with his head.

Oddly enough, that seems to be the case. Koo Ja-Cheol's preferred punching bag was Bayer 04 Leverkusen, against whom he scored 6 goals against (highest tally for a Korean player, if I am not mistaken).
Scored the first by sneaking in behind KMJ https://ffedge.streamff.com/uploads/275d6f98.mp4 Great buildup, turn and finish for the second goal: https://streamin.me/v/kmcyf135
