Son Heung-min (LAFC) is set to challenge for three consecutive goals in MLS.
Son Heung-min has been named in the starting lineup for the 2026 MLS Round 17 home match against Sporting Kansas City (KC), scheduled for 11:30 a.m. Korean time on the 26th at BMO Stadium in the U.S.
Son Heung-min will play as the forward in LAFC's 4-3-3 formation. Denis Bouanga and David Martinez will line up on the left and right flanks, coordinating with Son Heung-min.
This is the stage for his challenge of three consecutive goals. After struggling to score in MLS since the start of this season, Son Heung-min finally netted his first goal in the match against LA Galaxy on the 18th.
Building momentum, he also found the back of the net in the match against Real Salt Lake on the 23rd, recording consecutive goals in his last two games. His MLS record for this season stands at two goals and nine assists.
Opponent Sporting KC sits at the bottom of the MLS Western Conference with four wins, two draws, and ten losses. Having conceded a staggering 40 goals in 16 matches, they have allowed the most goals in the conference, highlighting their defensive weaknesses. Expectations for Son Heung-min's impact are accordingly high.
