North Korea striker Jong Tae-se scored twice in his debut for Bochum in Germany's second division, making a major contribution in his new team's 3-2 victory over 1860 Munich.

Jong scored with two headers Monday and won praise from his new team. But coach Friedhelm Funk says Jong ''still needs some time, you could see that he was through after 65, 70 minutes.''

Jong became the first North Korean to play in Germany when he signed for Bochum after the World Cup.
