Son Heung-min's free-kick wonder goal encouraged not only the U.S. Major League Soccer (MLS) but also LA FC.
MLS and LA FC posted Son Heung-min's goal video on their official channel on the 14th by the Korea Football Association (KFA). KFA is Son Heung-min's masterpiece in the Son Heung-min zone! It's literally a beautiful goal!praise '
Son Heung-min's free-kick changed the flow. In a friendly match against Bolivia at Daejeon World Cup Stadium on the 14th, he opened the scoring with a fantastic kick in the 12th minute of the second half. The ball that left his right foot crossed the defensive wall and was inserted into the upper left corner of the goal. The Bolivian goalkeeper threw himself, but he couldn't touch it.
It was Son's 54th A-match goal. He scored a free-kick goal two years and eight months after the match against Colombia in March 2023.
MLS 'Goal of the Year' has been replayed. Son Heung-min scored a picturesque free-kick goal in the MLS 30th round against FC Dallas at Toyota Stadium in Dallas, Texas on August 24 (Korea time). He stepped up as the kicker of Buanga's free kick. Son Heung-min's right footed shot penetrated the corner of the Dallas goal with a picturesque trajectory.
The goal was named the 'Gol of the Year'. On the 28th of last month, 79 days after his MLS debut, he was selected as the winner of 'Goal of the Year' in 10 games. MLS announced the award, saying, `Son Heung-min's first MLS goal remains in history.'

In addition to Son Heung-min, team-mate Dennis Buanga and global soccer icon Lionel Messi (Inter Miami) were also on the list of candidates for the MLS Goal of the Year award. No Asian player has ever won a prize in the 'MLS Goal of the Year' first introduced in 1996. LA FC has never produced a winner either. Son Heung-min achieved the first record.
The head coach Oscar Viegas Bolivai bowed to Son Heung-min. "I could feel the power of Korea by watching the flow go over after losing a point through a free kick. It was difficult to predict the match until the first half, but the flow was over with a free kick. "Korea was not an easy team to deal with. It was a fierce match."
Son Heung-min said, `It's more important to win the game. We talked with the players about how to win and continue the atmosphere. The first goal was to win. I'm happy to see it as a game in action."

And "Too much analysis. So are we, and so are our opponents. I think it's a strategic game rather than a soccer game. There are times when such an attack is not blocked. I don't think there's an easy game like we played without losing a point"I think the set piece could be the most powerful weapon. There are players with good headers and players with good kick power. There are times when I feel sorry for my performance, but sometimes I think it's more important to take the victory," he stressed.
He also said "It's more bitter if we don't win. I don't think this habit is bad. The ground condition was not 100%. I think it was a bit disappointing that we couldn't play what we wanted," he added.
Coach Hong Myung-bo said, "(I think Son Heung-min's ability is showing well. In addition to scoring in the second half, he is playing his part in the previous play" he evaluated.
Hong Myung-bo will move the stage to the Seoul World Cup Stadium on the 18th and face Ghana. Son Heung-min is aiming for his second consecutive goal.
