The scoring machine of Son Heung-min (LAFC), ace of the South Korean national football team, has fired again. He continued his hot upward trend by recording four consecutive goals in the league.

On the 2nd at 8:30 a.m. (Korean time), LAFC played an away match against Vancouver Whitecaps at BC Place in Vancouver, Canada, in the 2026 Major League Soccer (MLS) regular season and finished the first half leading 1-0.

The scorer of the opening goal was Son Heung-min. In the 37th minute of the first half, LAFC launched a quick counterattack. Denis Bouanga passed to Son Heung-min, who was standing nearby, and Son Heung-min immediately turned his body skillfully instead of receiving the ball directly. The Vancouver defenders were completely fooled by Son Heung-min's movement.

Son Heung-min quickly created shooting space and immediately attempted a sharp turning shot. The ball went straight into the Vancouver goal net. It was a goal that shone with momentary sense and precise finishing power.

Until Son Heung-min's goal came, LAFC struggled against Vancouver's relentless offensive pressure.

From the early stages of the match, LAFC veteran goalkeeper Hugo Lloris repeatedly made super saves to prevent goals. In the 27th minute of the first half, Vancouver attacker Brian White shook the goal net, but offside was called at the last moment. It was a scene that allowed LAFC to breathe a sigh of relief.

On the other hand, LAFC could not create any threatening attacking opportunities for a long time. In the 33rd minute of the first half, Son Heung-min led a counterattack himself, but Jacob Shaffelburg's pass did not connect accurately, leaving them with regrets.

However, Son Heung-min did not miss the decisive opportunity that came his way. He changed the flow of the tight match with just one sharp shot. It was the look of a problem-solver.

Son Heung-min previously ended up without scoring in the 2026 FIFA North, Central America and Caribbean World Cup qualifiers, leaving some regrets. But since returning to his club team, he has shown a completely different side.

Son Heung-min, who scored his first league goal of the season in a rivalry match against LA Galaxy, recorded one goal and one assist in the Real Salt Lake match. He then scored the opening goal in the Kansas City match as well.

In the MLS All-Star Game held on the 30th of last month, he netted multiple goals after playing only 35 minutes. Following his performance in the All-Star Game, he activated his scoring machine again in the Vancouver match, completing a streak of four consecutive league goals.
