Someone hit the ground and lamented at Son Heung-min's score that delighted fans.
Son Heung-min started in the final match of the U.S. Major League Soccer (MLS) League in the 2025 season against the Colorado Rappies at Dix Sporting Goose Park in Colorado on the 19th (Korea time) and scored the first goal to give the team the lead. With Son Heung-min's performance, LA FC drew 2-2 with Colorado.
It was a goal that would go down in the club's history. Son Heung-min penetrated forward in the 42nd minute of the first half, received a pass from Dennis Buanga, and even beat the defender at the gate. One time was enough. A powerful left-footed shot shook the net. It was the 500th score of the LA FC club's career. Son Heung-min's name was left next to the milestone he achieved in seven years since participating in the league in 2018.

However, while Son Heung-min was enjoying the joy of scoring, there was a man who screamed while hitting the ground. It's Colorado defenseman Rob Holding. Holding blocked Son Heung-min's shot by keeping him in check until the last minute, but Son's shot lightly penetrated the holding and headed into the goal. Upon successful scoring, Holding immediately fell to the ground and hit the ground several times, becoming furious. After the game, Holding was also seen talking to Son Heung-min.
The reason why fans showed more interest in the intersection of Holding and Son Heung-min is because of Holding's past team. Holding is a long-time defender of Tottenham's north London rival Arsenal. He played from 2016 to 2023, then played for Crystal Palace and Sheffield United before joining Colorado this summer. However, he encountered Son Heung-min, who left the English Premier League (EPL), again and repeatedly lost points with nightmares. Holding also had difficulties in 2022 when he was sent off due to accumulated warnings in the process of stopping Son Heung-min.
Fans say "Poor Holding, if anyone had said Son was going to MLS, he wouldn't have transferred to the club."Still haven't overcome Son.", 'Holding had a nightmare of the North London derby again' he lamented.
