The anger of Son Heung-min (34, LA FC) also surprised the British local community.

Britain's "The Sun" reported on the 19th (Korea Standard Time) that "Son Heung-min was outraged by the opponent's rough tackle during the game and had a flash of melee."

LAFC advanced to the quarterfinals with a 3-2 aggregate score in the second round of the 2026 CONCACAF Champions Cup held at Estadio Alejandro Morela Soto in Alajuela, Costa Rica on the 18th.

The media said, "The highlight of the game was Son Heung-min's strong anger rather than victory or defeat."

The incident occurred while Son Heung-min broke through the opponent's camp. Alahuelense defender Aaron Salazar made an unreasonable tackle on Son Heung-min from behind regardless of the ball, and Son fell painfully. Son Heung-min, who was extremely angry, immediately kicked off his seat and ran to Salazar and pushed him in the face and strongly protested.

The media explained the situation at the time, saying, "The tension between the two teams exploded in an instant due to the unusual reaction of Son Heung-min, who is usually known for his gentle leadership."

"Son Heung-min and Salazar collided head-to-head while their teammates were desperately trying to separate the two players, which soon led to a short scuffle between the two teams," he added.

Eventually, the situation calmed down after the referee gave both Son Heung-min and Salazar yellow cards. The media said, "Son Heung-min looked shocked at the warning given to him. "My LAFC colleagues strongly protested to the referee on his behalf," he said.

On this day, there were a lot of rough fouls against Son Heung-min. Allahuelense came out with a thorough containment operation to stop ace Son Heung-min. Son Heung-min had more than 15 fouls in the first game and more than 10 fouls in the second game of the day.

Meanwhile, Son Heung-min, who left the English Premier League (EPL) to move to LA FC in the U.S. Major League Soccer (MLS) last summer, is quickly becoming a league superstar and is actively playing. Even after joining during the last season, he scored more than one offensive point per game, scoring 12 goals and three assists in a total of 13 games. Since the opening of this season, he has continued his activities by scoring one goal and six assists in eight official games.
