Son Heung-min, who is leaving behind the disappointment of an early exit from the North and Central American World Cup at LA FC, struck just five minutes into the home match against Sporting Kansas City.

During a counterattack, he sprinted at incredible speed, shook off a defender pulling at him, and found the back of the net with a right-footed shot.

[His instinctive reaction was extremely sharp, and he handled the defender's pressure very well. Above all, what stood out was his composure.]

Although Son was initially in an offside position, a video review revealed that the ball had deflected off a defender's foot, and the goal was subsequently awarded.

After scoring his first league goal late on the 18th, he continued his peak scoring form with goals in three consecutive matches.

This season, he has recorded a total of 5 goals and 17 assists, while continuing the interesting pattern of alternating between his right and left feet for his 5 goals in exact succession.

Son unleashed several more shots afterward but failed to add another goal. However, with Bouanga scoring two goals and Martinez adding one, LA FC secured a 4-0 victory to extend their winning streak to four games and climb to second place in the league.

As the sole LA FC player selected for the All-Star team, Son will make his first-ever appearance in the All-Star Game on the 30th.
