Wood found the back of the net in the 34th minute of the match between Hamburg and Cologne. After a free-kick scramble, the American striker did well to stay onside and then pounced on a loose ball in the area, firing it home.
The goal gave Hamburg a 2-0 advantage after Andre Hahn opened the scoring six minutes before.
Though Wood netted a penalty few weeks ago in a DFB-Pokal loss to Osnabruck, it was the first Bundesliga goal for Wood since March of last season. Overall, it is his sixth in the league for Hamburg.
Wood, who signed a new deal with Hamburg over the summer, is considered a likely call-up for the United States national team for its World Cup qualifiers against Costa Rica and Honduras during the upcoming international break.
