He is also the best striker in the U.S. Major League Soccer. Son Heung-min (34, Los Angeles FC) will start hunting for his first goal in the league this season.

Son Heung-min's team LAFC will play Houston Dynamo in the second round of the 2026 MLS regular league at 10:30 a.m. on the 1st (Korea Standard Time) at Shell Energy Stadium in Texas.

The opposing team Houston picked Son Heung-min as the most threatening player. "The LAFC squad includes Korean national team captain Son Heung-min, goalkeeper Hugo Lloris, who has won the World Cup, and former MLS Golden Boot winner Dennis Buanga," the club said on its official channel preview.

Houston then said, "Vuanga and Lloris have played at Houston Stadium. However, Son Heung-min will wear his LAFC uniform in August 2025 and make his first appearance against this stadium and Houston.

Houston won 2-1 against Chicago in the MLS opener on the 22nd. Last season, Houston had 9 wins, 10 draws, 15 losses and 12th place.

Son Heung-min's LAFC atmosphere is at its best. LAFC, which won 3-0 in the MLS opener against Lionel Messi's Inter Miami at the LA Memorial Coliseum on the 22nd, is aiming for its second consecutive league win in this game. Including the 7-1 victory in the first and second rounds of the 2026 North-China Caribbean Football Confederation (CONCACAF) Champions Cup with Real Spain (Honduras), the team has recently won three consecutive official matches.

Son Heung-min is aiming for a regular league matriarch goal in the match against Houston. Son Heung-min's performance in the first round of the first round of CONCACAF against Real Spain, the first game of this season, was phenomenal. At that time, Son Heung-min scored only one shot (penalty kick) and showed an overwhelming performance of one goal and three assists.

In the first game of the season, Son Heung-min scored a through pass following a solo dribble breakthrough in the 11th minute of the first half, followed by a penalty kick himself, and later helped Buanga and Tillman's goals in turn, sweeping four offensive points in 39 minutes. Son Heung-min has smashed his opponent with a nine-point rating in "Sofa Score" and "Foot Mob."

In the MLS opener that followed, Son Heung-min also helped Inter Miami to the first final. In the match, LAFC defeated defending champion Miami in the MLS Cup, 3-0.

His physical condition is gradually increasing. Son Heung-min was replaced after playing for only 45 minutes in the second round of the CONCACAF Champions Cup on the 25th. LAFC coach Mark dos Santos said, "The key reason why Son Heung-min and Buanga played only in the first half is to maintain the rhythm," and emphasized, "Since Son Heung-min has not spent the pre-season perfectly, the process of continuing to find the rhythm of the game is important." He also added, "I told the two players in advance that I would only play in the first half, and the players fully understood and agreed to this."
