Son Heung-min Scores First LAFC Goal in MLS Draw vs FC Dallas

Son Heung-min scored his first goal for Los Angeles FC with a stunning free kick in the sixth minute during the club's 1-1 draw against FC Dallas, marking an impressive start to his MLS career after transferring from Tottenham Hotspur. The goal, which came after Denis Bouanga was fouled near the box, was praised by teammates and described as a 'work of art,' contributing to LAFC's undefeated run since Son's debut. Despite the draw, Son expressed disappointment over not securing a win but is optimistic about his future with LAFC, especially ahead of his anticipated home debut against Western Conference leaders San Diego FC. Since joining LAFC in early August, Son has also earned a penalty and provided an assist, quickly becoming a key figure and energizing the squad. His arrival has drawn significant fan attention, particularly from Korean supporters, and brought renewed hope for LAFC's pursuit of their first MLS Cup title since 2022. LAFC currently sits fourth in the Western Conference, maintaining momentum as they prepare for upcoming matches.
