Son Heung-min has his first goal for Los Angeles FC.
The club’s much-ballyhooed summer acquisition, netted his first LAFC goal on a free kick in the sixth minute during a 1-1 draw against FC Dallas on Saturday, Aug. 23.
Son took the free kick from a few yards beyond the 18-yard box and was on target and with enough pace to get past FC Dallas goalkeeper Michael Collodi. The free kick was earned when LAFC’s Denis Bouanga was fouled by Chris Cappis.
The goal comes a week after Son earned his first assist with LAFC in a 2-0 win over the New England Revolution on Aug. 16.
Son joined LAFC on Aug. 6 from Tottenham Hotspur of the England Premier League. The South Korean international had scored 173 goals in 10 seasons with the London-based club, captaining Tottenham its first trophy in 17 years as Spurs won the 2024-25 Europa League final in May.
