LA FC is playing the 2025 Major League Soccer (MLS) match against San Jose EarthQuake at Levi's Stadium in San Jose, USA on the 14th (Korea time).
There is something that drew attention ahead of the game. This is San Jose EarthQuake's 'Most Spectator' record. Earlier in the day, MLS Soccer in the U.S. is preparing for a historic crowd of `San Jose EarthQuake. The club announced the opening of the upper floor of the 68,000-seat stadium. The stadium is expected to attract a record number of spectators. 'If it exceeds 50,850 people, it will break the single-game attendance record set in June 2019,' it reported.
There was something San Jose Earthquake believed in. It was Son Heung-min's effect of 'LA FC ace'. Son Heung-min left the 10-year-old Tottenham (England) last month and changed into a uniform for LA FC. He made his MLS debut in the 16th minute of the second half against the Chicago Fire on August 10. Son Heung-min induced a penalty kick in the 32nd minute of the second half on the debut stage. Leading the team to a 2-2 draw, they pulled the team out of the brink of defeat. He delivered help in an away game against the New England Revolution on 17 August. He wrote his first offensive point as a member of LA FC. On August 24, he opened the scoring with a fantastic free kick against Dallas. Son Heung-min's power was also strong outside the ground. Son Heung-min's first home game at LA FC was filled with 22,937 people '10,000 spectators'.
In fact, ahead of the showdown, manager Bruce Young and San Jose Earthquake said, `It's a big game and an important game. I'm sure there will be a big crowd. More than 50,000 fans are expected to come. I hope the crowd works in our favor. I'm sure there's someone cheering for LA FC. I think a lot of people from Son Heung-min and his community will come to cheer him on."
San Jose EarthQuake's expectations have become a reality. A total of 50,978 people were in the game. He set a new record by surpassing 128 spectators.
