Son Heung-min (LAFC) reported his first major goal since entering the U.S.
He was named the Player of the Match (POTM) for the second consecutive game, shaking Major League Soccer (MLS) again. Son Heung-min scored his debut goal with a fantastic free kick six minutes after the start of the 2025 MLS 30th round against FC Dallas at Toyota Stadium in Dallas, Texas on the 24th (Korea time).
He stepped up as the kicker of Dennis Buanga's free kick. Son Heung-min's right footed shot penetrated the corner of the Dallas goal with a picturesque trajectory.
Fabrizio Romano, a European transfer market expert who is synonymous with `Here We Go' when Son scored his first goal, said, `Son Heung-min Show in MLS! Son Heung-min scored his first goal in MLS with a perfect free kick. This is just the beginning,' he praised.
MLS also cheered, MLS said on its website, "'Son Heung-min scored his debut MLS goal at the world class level. Son Heung-min, the Tottenham legend, made his debut three days after signing with LA FC at the club's highest transfer fee ever, and led his team to a 2-0 win against New England with his first start. He also stressed that Son Heung-min's first goal raised expectations for his home debut next weekend.

'Foot Mob' gave the highest rating of 8.8 for both teams. Son Heung-min, who played full-time, made 70 touches, creating the most chances, eight times. He recorded eight shots, and three of them were effective shots.
However, there was a regret. LA FC drew 1-1 with Dallas despite Son Heung-min's goal. Dallas was sucked into the goal in the 13th minute of the first half when Logan Farrington's shot deflected off the LAFC defender. Hugo Lloris, the gatekeeper, was caught in a dynamic.
Son Heung-min made his MLS debut in the 16th minute of the second half against the Chicago Fire on the 10th. In the first game, he induced a penalty kick in the 32nd minute of the second half to lead his team to a 2-2 draw.
He made his first start in an away game against the New England Revolution on the 17th, and scored his first offensive point by assisting a wedge goal just before the end of the game. LA FC won 2-0.
Dallas was the third game, and it was a joy with its debut goal. The proprietary 'Click Ceremony' also made its debut. However, the team's draw made him feel deeply disappointed after the game.
Son Heung-min is pleased to score his first goals for MLS and LAFC. But the most important thing is to get three points, and that's really a shame. "It's a period of time to create opportunities, dominate the game, but still adapt to the team. I still need time, but I'm enjoying every moment."
He will make his home debut on September 1 against San Diego FC.
