SEOUL, July 18 (AJP) - South Korean captain Son Heung-min scored his first Major League Soccer goal of the season on Saturday in his first game back with Los Angeles FC following the 2026 World Cup.
Son started against city rivals LA Galaxy at Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, California, and found the net in the 57th minute to put LAFC 3-0 ahead.
The 34-year-old forward collected a pass from Mark Delgado before firing a right-footed shot into the net for his first goal against the Galaxy since joining LAFC last summer.
The goal also ended Son's scoring drought in MLS this season. He had recorded nine assists in league play without scoring, while netting twice in the CONCACAF Champions Cup.
Son returned to club duty after captaining South Korea at the 2026 World Cup.
