    Hwang Ui-jo of FC Girondins de Bordeaux scored his sixth goal of the season in an away match against Paris Saint-Germain in France's Ligue 1 on Sunday.

    He has scored in two consecutive matches, after netting in the team's previous match against Dijon FCO on Feb. 15.

    Hwang gave his team the lead as he headed in a corner kick by Toma Bašić in the 18th minute, but Bordeaux went on to lose 4-3. They remain at 12th in the league with nine wins, eight draws and nine losses.

    PSG retained the top spot with 21 wins, two draws and three losses.

    Hwang's play has been strong of late, putting him second in scoring for the team behind Jimmy Briand, who has netted seven goals.

    In February alone, he scored three goals in four matches, all headers. That shows that he has been getting better at controlling the ball in the air, to complement his sharp right-footed shooting.
