Son Heung-min aimed to score in five consecutive league games and score in seven official games. Son Heung-min scored back-to-back goals against the U.S. and Mexico in the A-match in September, and gained momentum properly. He scored as many as seven goals in the four league games that followed, and scored in the last four league games. Against Atlanta, he will try to score points in five consecutive games that he has never achieved at Tottenham. Son Heung-min's previous best record is currently scoring in four consecutive games. When he was at Tottenham, he recorded it once in 2016 and 2021, but it never continued to five games.
Atlanta also faced off with a 5-3-2 formation. Jamal Thiare, Miguel Almiron on the front line, and Steven Alzate, Bartots Slitz and Alexei Miranchuk on the midfield. The defense was built by Pedro Amaro, Enea Mihaz, Juan Berokal, Stian Gregersen and Ronald Hernandez. The goalkeeper's gloves were worn by Jaden Hibert.

There have also been several joint ventures between Son Heung-min and Buanga. In the 17th minute of the first half, Buanga received a pass and stirred in the Atlanta box. When Buanga did not have a shot opportunity, he delivered the ball to Son Heung-min with a sensational backheel pass. Son Heung-min's shot was blocked by the defense's hand-to-hand defense. In the 21st minute of the first half, Son Heung-min's shot in front of the box was blocked by the goalkeeper. Buanga finished the bounced ball again, but even this was caught by the goalkeeper.
Son Heung-min's sharp kick threatened Atlanta. In the 36th minute of the first half, Son Heung-min accurately delivered the ball to the door in a free kick situation. It hit the head of Hollingshead, who was waiting, but the ball headed to the side of the net.
Despite LA FC's aggressive performance, Atlanta focused on defense and finished 0-0 in the first half.

Atlanta blocked the offense with a hand-to-hand defense. In the 18th minute of the second half, Buanga, who received a lobbing pass, even tried to shoot from deep in the box, but was blocked by defense. In the ensuing corner kick, Son Heung-min's accurate cross touched Hollingshead's head, but he passed right next to the net and held his head. LA FC continued to shake Atlanta, but Atlanta's solid defense was rarely breached.
LA FC finally scored the first goal, breaking the balance of '0'. In the 41st minute of the second half, the defense failed to handle the cross from the side properly, and the ball fell to Buanga, who was waiting at the gate. He scored by pushing his teeth in.
In the end, the game ended with a 1-0 victory for LA FC.
