The answer was "Son Heung-min (34·LAFC)" indeed.

Son Heung-min, who had no field goals since the opening of the season and remained silent in the national soccer team game, showed off his presence "as if to show." Son Heung-min started in the sixth round of the U.S. Major League Soccer (MLS) home game against Orlando City at BMO Stadium in LA on the 5th (Korea time) and was at the center of the team's victory with four assists in the first half alone. Including the induction of own goals, it was a "one-man show" that contributed to as many as five of the team's six goals on the day.

Three of the four assists went to "partner" Deene Vuanga. He scored three goals in less than 10 minutes with a sharp pass to Buanga in the 20th, 23rd and 28th minutes of the first half. In the 40th minute of the first half, he received a pass from Buanga and even helped Sergiy Palencia score. According to the MLS Secretariat, Son Heung-min is the first in history to record four assists in the first half of an MLS game. It is the first time in Son's personal career that he has had four assists in a game.

It was also a performance that instantly dispelled various controversies related to the recent performance, to the extent that Hong Myung-bo, the head coach of the national soccer team, answered, "I have never suspected Son Heung-min." In fact, Son Heung-min scored only one goal with a penalty kick in nine games for his team since the opening of this season. Prior to the match, there were seven assists, including the CONCACAF Champions Cup, but it was regrettable that no goals were scored.

In particular, there was criticism of the so-called performance as it missed decisive scoring opportunities in the two consecutive games against Ivory Coast and Austria, which were the last warm-up matches against the 2026 FIFA 2026 FIFA North and Central America World Cup. In the meantime, head coach Hong Myung-bo responded to a question about Son Heung-min's "use of World Cup selection," and the Guardian, a leading British daily newspaper, said, "It's a question that I couldn't even imagine a while ago."

However, as soon as Son Heung-min returned to his team, he proved his unique class. He has answered various controversies by writing a new history of MLS as well as his personal career. Although there was also a scene where he swallowed his disappointment by missing a decisive shooting opportunity on the day, Son Heung-min's presence was remarkable just with the record of four assists that led to his team's 6-0 victory. As always, concerns about Son Heung-min ended with a rain.
