Mexican media expressed deep concern when "captain" Son Heung-min (34, LA FC) bombed Mexican league powerhouse Cruz Asul.

Mexico's 'Fox Sports' said on the 9th (Korea Standard Time), "The Mexican national soccer team is on alert. In the 2026 2026 FIFA North and Central America World Cup, Son Heung-min, Mexico's opponent and South Korea's star, scored against Cruz Asul and played an active role," the report said.

LAFC won 3-0 in the first leg of the quarterfinals of the "2026 North American Caribbean Football Confederation (CONCACAF) Champions Cup" against Cruz Asul (Mexico) at BMO Stadium in Los Angeles, California on the 8th.

Son Heung-min, who played as a one-top forward, played about 90 minutes, close to his full season, scoring the first goal of the game and his first field goal of the season.

In the 30th minute of the first half, Son Heung-min, who was rushing a low cross from the right side by Mathieu Schniere, fell and kicked it to shake the net. Son ran to the stands and roared with his fists clenched. Then, I clasped my right hand He also threw an unspoken message to "keep talking" about the controversy over the "aging curve" that recently arose against him while opening the movement.

Fox Sports said, "Son Heung-min, who spent most of his career on the European stage, showed overwhelming determination in front of the goal. Son Heung-min, who received a pass from Schniere in the 30th minute of the first half, scored by sliding lightly past defender Willer Dita, he said. "Son Heung-min and Dennis Buanga went through the dangerous area, but Cruz Asul's defense couldn't find an answer."

Analysts say Son Heung-min's fierce toe leads to a real threat just two months before the World Cup. The media said, "Mexico will play the second group match against South Korea led by Son Heung-min in Guadalajara on June 18."

He emphasized the weight of this game by shedding light on past confrontations. The media said, "Mexico won 2-1 in the group stage of the 2018 World Cup in Russia. Therefore, this match will be a revenge match for Son Heung-min and the Korean national team, he said. "It was Son Heung-min who scored the only goal for Korea at the time."

The South Korean national soccer team, which is in Group A of the 2026 FIFA North and Central America World Cup, will play the first group match against the Czech Republic at 11 a.m. on June 12 at Akron Stadium in Guadalajara, Mexico. Then, at 10 a.m. on the 19th, they will play the second match against Mexico, the host country.
