For LA FC, which is seeking to win the championship, it is better to decide to advance to the quarterfinals on this day in consideration of the physical burden. Coach Steve Cherundolo declared an all-out war. Son Heung-min was consistently the front-line striker. 'Heungbu Duo' Dnie Buanga and Nathan Ordaz were appointed as partners. Mark Delgado, Timothy Tillman and Jayson Marquez built the midfield, while Serhiy Palencia, Ryan Portiers, Eddie Segura and Ryan Hollingshead set up four backs. 'Captain' Hugo Lloris defended the goal. Three names were changed compared to the first game.
Son Heung-min played his first career fall football in the first game. So far, Son Heung-min has only experienced Europe's autumn system as a member of Hamburg, Leverkusen (Germany), and Tottenham. MLS is a spring and autumn season that begins in the spring and ends in the fall, and the MLS Cup Playoff, a kind of postseason, is held after the regular league is completed. It was the first time Son Heung-min played in the postseason.
Son Heung-min has been very active since the first game. Son Heung-min, who scored his ninth goal of the season in the final regular league match against the Colorado Raffes (2-2 draw) on the 19th of last month, had a 10-day break. Son Heung-min, who showed off his light physical movement, directly or indirectly contributed to the two goals scored by LA FC. Son Heung-min recorded as many as eight key passes, two big chances, two effective shots and four cross successes until he was replaced by Jeremy Ebovise in the second minute of extra time in the second half of the day.
The winning goal also came from his toes. In the 34th minute of the second half, Son Hong-min shook off the opponent's harsh pressure and broke through and stabbed a pass to Buanga on the left. Buanga's shot deflected off the opponent's defender and headed for the goal, and Nathan Ordas, who was jumping in, pushed it in. Austin players claimed offside, but conceded the umpires to score. He did not score, but Son Heung-min, who always led LA FC's attack, was selected as the best player of the game.
Son Heung-min, who showed his appearance as a playmaker in the first game, came out as a troubleshooter in the second game. He took the lead in the counterattack in the 20th minute of the first half. He took a pass from Vuanga and dug in to the left. Son Heung-min, who dug into the box at high speed, beat one defense and scored with a powerful left-footed shot. Son Heung-min, who scored nine goals in the regular league, scored double-digit points this season. Son Heung-min has been named the only English Premier League (EPL) player to score double digits for nine consecutive seasons from 2016-2017 to 2024-2025 with his previous team, Tottenham. Although the stage is different, the record for double-digit scores in a row has increased to 10 seasons.
Heungbu Duo, who collaborated on the first goal, and this time it was Buanga's turn. As expected, Son Heung-min helped. Son Heung-min even beat the goalkeeper in the counterattack. Passed to the viceanga who was jumping in the opposite direction. He once again pushed the ball out of the defense, and Buanga scored with a calm finish. The quarterfinals are starting to be seen.
