Son Heung-min recorded his 15th assist of the season for Los Angeles FC in Major League Soccer.

LAFC drew San Diego FC 2-2 on the road in a 2026 MLS Round 11 match at Snapdragon Stadium in San Diego, California, on May 3 (Korean time).

Son came on in the 60th minute with LAFC down 2-0 and set up Denis Bouanga’s goal in the 82nd minute to start the comeback.

It was Son’s eighth assist in league play, moving him into sole possession of the MLS assist lead. Across all official competitions, including the CONCACAF Champions Cup, it was his 15th assist of the season.

Son still has not scored his first MLS goal. He has two goals in the Champions Cup but has yet to find the net in league play.

LAFC equalized in the 90th minute of stoppage time. On a corner kick, Mathieu Choiniere headed the ball down and Ryan Hollingshead finished from close range to make it 2-2.

With the draw, LAFC stayed third in the Western Conference at 6-3-2 with 21 points.
