Son Heung-min (34, LAFC) shook off his disappointment during the A-match in March in his team's game. He took the lead in the team's five-goal lead by accumulating as many as four assists in the first half alone.

Son Heung-min started in the sixth round of the 2026 Major League Soccer (MLS) home game against Orlando City at 10:30 a.m. on the 5th (Korea Standard Time) in LA, California, and accumulated four assists in the first half alone. In addition to inducing own goals, all five goals in the first half were made on Son Heung-min's toes.

Son Heung-min, who played as the team's front-line striker, dug into the back space of the defense in the 7th minute of the first half and a side cross from the right was deflected off the defender, leading to an own goal.

In the counterattack situation in the 20th minute of the first half, he dribbled near the half-line and handed over an penetration pass to Deeni Buanga, and Buanga finished with an exquisite shot over the goalkeeper's height to create a joint goal.

In three minutes, Son Heung-min and Buanga scored another joint goal. This time again, Son Heung-min, who caught the ball in the LAFC camp, gave up a space pass to the front of Buanga, who penetrated forward. After the sprint, Buanga beat a defender and shot with his right foot to shake the net.

In the 28th minute of the first half, Son Heung-min received a pass that Buanga gave off by cutting off the opponent's ball in front of the arc and connected it again to Buanga, who penetrated the back space of the defense, and Buanga finished with his right foot, completing so-called "asset tricks" and hat tricks, respectively.

Son Heung-min's instinct for attack points did not end here. In the 39th minute of the first half, on the other hand, he dug into the right side under Buanga's direction, and Sergi Palencia finished the cutback he gave to the gate with his right foot, adding a whopping fourth assist to the first half of the day alone.

Son Heung-min aimed not only for assist but also for the opponent's goal in the 1st and 4th minutes of the first half, but failed to score. The first half ended with LAFC's 5-0 lead.
