The U.S. Major League Soccer (MLS) spotlighted Son Heung-min's victory. Son Heung-min is also on the main page of the MLS official website. It was about the U.S. national soccer team losing to the Korean national team, but it didn't matter. He only focused on Son Heung-min's performance.
MLS announced on its official website on the 7th that `Son Heung-min's hot summer is still continuing.'
MLS said `LAFC (Los Angeles FC) superstar Son Heung-min showed great performance in the warm-up match between South Korea and the U.S.' He scored the first goal with a fantastic individual breakthrough and assisted Lee Dong-kyung in a 2-0 victory at Sports Illustrated Stadium in Harrison, New Jersey," he said.
On this day, Son Heung-min came out as a one-top forward. Playing almost like a pre-roll, he focused on breaking down the opposing defense. Son Heung-min received Lee Jae-sung's pass in the 18th minute of the first half and faced a one-on-one chance, and he hit a shot from a narrow angle to split the goal.

Son Heung-min also flashed in the 43rd minute of the first half. Son Heung-min again penetrated the defense by linking with Lee Jae-sung, and he had a decisive opportunity by succeeding Lee Dae-il pass. Son Heung-min handed the ball to Lee Dong-kyung as he collided with the opposing goalkeeper, and Lee Dong-kyung finished with a witty backhill.
For the U.S., it may be a disappointing result ahead of the 2026 North American World Cup at home. Local fans are also saddened by the defeat of the U.S. At the same time, there is also a view that envies Son Heung-min's performance.
MLS criticized "U.S. midfielder Tyler Adams emphasized how important it is to track Son's movements, but the U.S. team seemed to have forgotten the lesson early on.'
A netizen posted on MLS' social networking service account, "Why isn't Son Heung-min playing for the U.S. team?He posted the phrase " and received a lot of sympathy. It was also a mockery of the U.S. politician's mistake at Son Heung-min's joining ceremony in LAFC, saying, `Son Heung-min will try to win the U.S. World Cup.'
Son Heung-min and Mauricio Pochettino, the U.S. national team coach, ended with Son's victory. Pochettino knew Son Heung-min's outstanding skills better than anyone else, but he couldn't stop it in the end.
Pochettino and Son Heung-min have been together for a long time at Tottenham. Son Heung-min has grown into one of the world's best strikers under Pochettino. Son Heung-min is drawing attention as he succeeded in transferring to LAFC of MLS in August. Many fans are visiting the stadium wearing Son's uniform to see him. There are about nine months left until the North-China World Cup, the reason for Son Heung-min's advance to MLS.
