Although LA FC's Son Heung-min was blocked by the woodwork and failed to score for two consecutive matches, he laid the foundation for the opening goal, contributing to his team's first victory in seven games.
Four days after breaking his eight-game scoring silence, Son fiercely pounded New York's goal from the very beginning, and this aggressive attempt led to the opening goal.
In the 21st minute of the first half, his left-footed shot following individual skill was blocked by the goalkeeper and rolled in front of the goal, connecting to Terry's winning goal.
Playing the full match, Son unleashed a game-high eight shots for both teams.
His well-hit left-footed shot struck the crossbar, causing him to miss out on scoring in consecutive matches.
Still, heavily outshooting their opponents 15 to 8, LA FC added Zive's insurance goal right before the final whistle to win 2 to 0, claiming their first victory in seven games.
