Son Heung-min (34, Los Angeles FC)'s first goal of the U.S. Major League Soccer (MLS) season was canceled again. Goal silence continued in four consecutive official matches, including the CONCACAF Champions Cup.

Son Heung-min played full season as a front-line striker against FC Dallas in the third round of the 2026 MLS at BMO Stadium in Los Angeles, California on the 8th (Korea time), but only one shot.

On this day, Son Heung-min recorded an 86% pass success rate, including two key passes, but he was warned by simulation 10 minutes into the first half. In the end, Son Heung-min failed to reach the offensive point even though he played full season.

Football statistics media Potmob gave Son a 6.7 rating on the day. He is the only LAFC player who started with a six-point rating. Goalkeeper Hugo Lloris was the highest with 8.5 points, followed by David Martinez, who scored the first goal, with 8.2 points.

It is the second time this season that Son Heung-min has failed to score an offensive point in an official match since the second leg of the first round of the 2026 CONCACAF Champions Cup against Real Spain (Honduras) on the 25th of last month.

Son Heung-min scored one goal and three assists in the first round of the first match of the season against Real Spain, but has only two assists (3 assists based on MLS) in four official matches since then. The net has not been shaken for four consecutive games since its first official match of the season, with even the season's only score being a penalty.

In Son Heung-min's silence, LAFC beat FC Dallas 1-0 to win its opening three consecutive games. This is the first time in LAFC's history that it has achieved three consecutive MLS opening wins.

The game was decided in the 10th minute of the second half. Martinez shook the opponent's net with a fantastic left footed shot from outside the penalty box. Since then, LAFC has been heavily chased by the opponent, but it has collected three valuable points at home as the goal kept by goalkeeper Lloris has not been opened.

LAFC will play the first leg of the Champions Cup round of 16 against LD Alahuelense (Costarica) at noon on the 11th.
