The match took place at Toyota Stadium (Texas, USA) on the morning of August 24 (Vietnam time). In the 6th minute, Los Angeles FC was awarded a free kick on the left wing of the goal, about 25m from the goal. Son took a technical kick with his right foot, bringing the hooked ball straight into the near corner, leaving goalkeeper Michael Kolodziej unable to react.
This was the Korean star's first goal for Los Angeles FC, after he brought home a penalty against Chicago and had an assist against New England.
Son's appearance received special support from the Korean community in Dallas. Many home fans even stood up to celebrate his goal. In his career, this was only the second time Son has scored from a free kick for the club, after a goal against Watford in the Premier League in 2021.
However, Los Angeles FC's joy did not last long when Farrington equalized for Dallas in the 13th minute. The match ended in a 1-1 score, ending a streak of 3 consecutive away matches of Los Angeles FC with one win and two draws. Son has left his mark with a goal and an assist at this stage.
Joining Los Angeles FC for about 26 million USD, Son reunited with his former teammate Hugo Lloris. In the next match, Los Angeles FC will return home to welcome San Diego FC on August 31, which will also be Son's first time playing in Los Angeles.
