LA Man' Son Heung-min (33, LA FC) is literally chewing up the U.S. Major League Soccer (MLS).
Son Heung-min was again selected as the best 11 of the week. Son Heung-min was selected for the MLS Matchday 37 'Team of the Matchday' announced by the MLS Secretariat on the 30th (Korea time). Son Heung-min was listed as the front-line striker in the 3-4-3 formation. Regarding Son Heung-min, the MLS secretariat praised Son Heung-min, saying, "'LA FC superstar Son Heung-min scored multiple goals against St. Louis, which LA FC won 3-0, and Son Heung-min scored eight goals in eight games since his debut in MLS.'"
Son Heung-min was selected as the best 11 this week, and he was selected as the best 11 of the week four times since moving to MLS. Son Heung-min was also selected as the best 11 in the matchday 30 against FC Dallas, which scored his MLS debut goal, starting with the first best 11 in the matchday 29 week with one assist against New England Revolution last month. He scored one goal and two assists at home against Real Salt Lake and was also listed as the best 11 in the 35 weeks of Matchday, which led the team to come from behind to win.
Son Heung-min's momentum continued. On the 28th, he scored multiple goals in a 2025 MLS regular league away game against St. Louis City SC at Energizer Park in St. Louis, Missouri. He scored the first goal at the end of the first half. Just before the end of the first half, Son Heung-min burst. Son Heung-min, who could not shoot a single shot, saved a single chance. Son Heung-min, who received a pass from the left, scored with a strong shot in front of the defense in a counterattack.
Then, in the 15th minute of the second half, Son Heung-min exploded again. After releasing the opponent's pressure, making a forward pass, he reached the front of the goal with an explosive main force. He poked it to Smolyakov, who was digging to the left, and Smolyakov gave it back to Son Heung-min. Son Heung-min shook the St. Louis net with a powerful right-footed shot in front of a defense in the center of the box. It was a goal that the goalkeeper couldn't move at all.
Son Heung-min has scored in four consecutive games. Including the A-match, it is the sixth consecutive goal. He scored eight goals in eight games since joining MLS. He is showing off his enormous scoring ability of one goal per game. It was just a shame that I didn't get a hat trick. Son Heung-min scored a hat trick in an away match against Real Salt Lake on the 18th. Son Heung-min was named the official MVP after the game. The weekly Best 11 selection was all too natural.
