Dortmund-bound Ji scores on second Augsburg debut

Ji Dong-won was on target in his second debut for FC Augsburg as they drew 2-2 at Borussia Dortmund on the weekend.

The 22-year old South Korean striker, who joined die Fuggerstadter permanently from Sunderland just over a week ago, scored the leveller in the 72nd minute at Signal Iduna Park on Saturday.

Ji, who spent part of last season with Augsburg, was brought on by Markus Weinzierl with 20 minutes remaining and it paid dividends as he headed home Andre Hahn's cross with his first touch of the match.

Earlier, Sven Bender netted for BVB before scoring an own-goal which had Augsburg back in the contest prior to Nuri Sahin's go-ahead effort in the 66th minute.

But Ji was on hand to give his side a share of the points, coincidentally, with the team he is set to join this coming summer.
