Son Heung-min (34, Los Angeles FC), who went on the road to Honduras and played his first official game of the 2026 season, performed a "one-man show." He accumulated as many as four offensive points (1 goal, 3 assists) in 62 minutes until he was replaced in the 17th minute of the second half. Honduras' local media also applauded Son Heung-min's brilliant performance.

Honduran media outlet El Heraldo said, "Son Heung-min put on a Honduran show," shortly after Los Angeles FC defeated Real España (Honduras) 6-1 in the first round of the 2026 North American Caribbean Football Association (CONCACAF) Champions Cup held at Francisco Morasan Stadium in San Pedro Sula, Honduras on the 18th (Korea time). "Real España, which suffered a crushing defeat at home, is going on an away trip to the U.S. with a heavy burden."

"Son Heung-min, a Tottenham native and star player of LAFC, was one of the biggest topics of the game," El Heraldo said. "Son Heung-min helped David Martinez score an additional goal through a through pass, and he also succeeded in a penalty." The nightmare is not over. Son Heung-min helped Dnie Vuanga's goal and assisted Timos Tillman's goal with a pass posted after breaking through the side. It's already been a one-sided game," he said.

Another media outlet, Region Katracha, said, "Real Spain was bombed with goals due to the strong performance of Son Heung-min and Buanga (3 goals)." "It was a night I wanted to forget," said Diario La Prensa. Real Spain suffered a historic defeat by LAFC led by Son Heung-min and Hugo Lloris without even a moment to use their hands.

"Son Heung-min played properly in Honduras and went back," said Todo Deportes Television (TDTV). "It was a show of 'Sonaldo (Son Heung-min + Cristiano Ronaldo)" at Morasan," he said. "When Son Heung-min was replaced in the second half, Honduran fans applauded, and Son Heung-min left the stadium in response to such fans."

On this day, Son Heung-min was replaced in the 12th minute of the second half when his team was leading 5-1. This was LAFC's first official game of the season. Son Heung-min received the team's second highest score after Buanga (9.7 points), who achieved a hat trick with 9.6 points in the Potmob rating.

Son Heung-min will try to score goals for the second consecutive game of the season at 11:30 a.m. on the 22nd through Inter Miami, where Lionel Messi belongs, and the 2026 Major League Soccer (MLS) opener. At noon on the 25th, Real Spain is scheduled to face off at home in the second leg.
