It is controversial that a player who made a "murder tackle" on Son Heung-min (34, LA FC) posted a picture of the situation on his social media (SNS).

Alahuelense midfielder Aaron Salazar posted pictures of the game against LA FC on his SNS on the 19th (Korea Standard Time) and said, "It's a bittersweet result that's hard to accept. There is no time to lose. We must continue to move forward together. Thank you for supporting me until the end," he wrote.

All four photos and one video he uploaded showed Son Heung-min. In fact, he only collected and posted scenes that were involved with Son Heung-min. The problem is that Salazar also posted a picture of the controversial scene with a deep tackle on Son Heung-min.

Son Heung-min overcame the injury crisis in the second leg of the round of 16 of the 2026 North American Caribbean Football Confederation (CONCACAF) Champions Cup against Alahuelense in Morela Soto, Estadio Alejandro, Costa Rica on the 18th.

In the process of Son Heung-min breaking through the opponent's side, Salazar tackled Son Heung-min excessively regardless of the ball, and Son Heung-min collapsed 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. Eventually, the situation calmed down after the referee gave everyone a yellow card.

Foreign media were also surprised by Son Heung-min's play. Britain's "The Sun" reported on the 19th, "Son Heung-min was enraged by the opponent's rough tackle during the game and had a flash of melee," adding, "The highlight of the game was Son Heung-min's fierce anger rather than victory or defeat."

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.

On this day, there were a lot of rough fouls against Son Heung-min. Alahuelense came out with a thorough blockade operation to stop LA FC 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 seven assists in eight official games.
