Scores first MLS goal in 2026
Son scored one goal to go with six shots (two on goal) and one corner in Friday's 3-0 win versus Los Angeles Galaxy.
Analysis: Son scored LAFC's third goal in the second half to seal Friday's 3-0 El Trafico victory, the goal marking his 25th direct contribution (13 goals, 12 assists) in 27 MLS appearances since joining the club in August 2025. His goal was his first of the season in a game that matters and he also deferred the 45th minute penalty to Denis Bouanga rather than taking it himself, a gesture that underlined the bond within LAFC's attacking unit. Son's decisive in El Trafico this season makes him LAFC's most productive player across both leagues since his arrival.
Zero shots against Mexico
Son recorded one chance created and zero shots in Thursday's 1-0 loss to Mexico.
Analysis: Son struggled in Thursday's loss, as the South Korean forward was unable to record a single shot against the Mexican defense. This would eventually lead to his exit from the field, as he would be subbed off in the 57th minute. He should return to the starting XI in a very important match against South Africa on June 24, likely needing at least a point to advance.
