Maximiliano Falcon (29, Inter Miami), a Uruguayan who made headlines after asking Son Heung-min (34, Los Angeles FC) for a uniform less than 19 minutes after the game began, eventually received a uniform from Son Heung-min.
According to the soccer content media Pase Piltrado on the 22nd (Korea Standard Time), Falcon eventually received the uniform after waiting for Son Heung-min on the way to the locker room after the game. According to the released video, Son shook hands with Falcon, who had been waiting for him, took off the uniform he was wearing under his coat on the spot, presented it to Falcon, and took a commemorative photo.
The Falcon made headlines when it asked Son Heung-min for a uniform in the 18th minute of the first half in an away match against LAFC of the 2026 Major League Soccer (MLS) at the Memorial Coliseum in Los Angeles (LA). Falcon is a defender from Uruguay's U-20 national team.
Falcon, who was close to Son Heung-min in a dead ball situation, pointed to his uniform and asked Son Heung-min to do something with his hands together. Due to the circumstances, it was a scene where Son Heung-min asked for a uniform gift he was wearing after the game. It is common for players to exchange uniforms after the game, and in the case of star players, there is a competition to exchange uniforms, but it became a hot topic in the country during the game and asking for uniforms early in the game.
ESPN Deportes said, "Falcon asked Son Heung-min to give him his uniform during the game. Who doesn't want Son Heung-min's uniform?" he posted a video of Falcon's uniform request on the broadcast screen. Another media outlet, Review Sports TV, said, "It was really early when Falcon asked Son Heung-min to wear a uniform. This sportsmanship makes the game even more beautiful," he added.
Since then, it has not been confirmed whether Son Heung-min fulfilled Falcon's request as Son Heung-min was replaced first in the 43rd minute of the second half and left the stadium. Lionel Messi (Inter Miami), who drew attention, was also shown exchanging uniforms with Son Heung-min's offensive partner Dnie Vuanga on the broadcast screen.
Instead, Son Heung-min did his favor by not giving other players a uniform and wearing it under his coat, then handing it directly to Falcon, who was waiting for him. "Son Heung-min kept his promise by presenting his LAFC uniform to Falcon," Pase Piltrado said.
Meanwhile, LAFC, with consecutive goals from David Martinez, Buanga and Nathan Ordas, defeated Inter Miami 3-0. Son Heung-min assisted Martinez's first goal with a sharp pass. The match, which drew a lot of attention due to Son Heung-min and Messi's showdown, was held at the LA Memorial Coliseum for the first time in history, and was held in front of a crowd of 75,673 people, the most ever in MLS's opening game.
