Son Heung-min's help set a milestone for his partner.

The U.S. Major League Soccer (MLS) secretariat reported on its official website on the 22nd (Korea time) that `Dennis Buanga, LA FC's superstar, has been recorded in MLS history again.'

LA FC won 4-1 in the 2025 MLS home game against Real Salt Lake at BMO Stadium in LA on the 22nd. The main player of the victory was definitely 'Heungbu Duo' again this time. Son Heung-min also started in the game on the same day, and after one goal against San Jose on the 14th and a hat trick against Salt Lake on the 18th, he once again faced Salt Lake and scored one goal and one assist in three consecutive league games.

The partner Vuanga also flew up. Buanga received Son Heung-min's pass in the first minute of extra time in the first half and shook the net as it was. Later, he scored additional goals in the 27th minute of the second half and the 41st minute of the second half to complete the hat trick. LA FC won three consecutive games with Buanga and Son Heung-min scoring hat tricks in a row.

Buanga also achieved the first MLS milestone with the help of Son Heung-min in this match. The MLS Secretariat said, `Buanga became the first player in MLS history to score 20 or more goals in three consecutive seasons with this score.' He has already won a point in 2023 as well. Along with Miami's Lionel Messi, he led the scoring. "He is showing improved chemistry with Son Heung-min, who joined the club with the highest fee ever for an MLS transfer from Tottenham."

Buanga is one of the leading scorers in MLS this season. After joining Son Heung-min, his performance stands out even more. He scored nine goals in seven games and quickly became the joint top scorer in the league. Opponents are hardly able to control their hot toes, which have scored two hat tricks in three games. Buanga, who flew with Son Heung-min, can now aim for the top scorer.




Son Heung-min's appearance is shaking MLS history. Attention is also focusing on how far the "Heungbu Duo" will continue.
