In his third match at LAFC, his son Heung-Min made the mark with a stunning free kick to advance Black and Gold early against FC Dallas. After striker Dennis Boanga was fouled outside the box, his son curled the ball into the upper left corner for six minutes, leaving the keeper without a chance.

The strike is my son’s first MLS goal since joining from Tottenham Hotspur earlier this month, and we hope that LAFC will be deeply stimulating in the final stages of the season as they will earn the upcoming 1-1 draw and excitement.
It wasn’t enough for his team to win, but the great goal shows that his son’s influence on the franchise can lead him to winning in a consistent way. International players in Korea have what they need to change the game with heartbeat.
Head coach loves his son’s competitive mindset.
Los Angeles FC head coach Steve Cerundro loves the competitiveness he brings to his team. “He’s a competitor, a winner, and on top of that, he has qualities that many players don’t have in this league,” he told the media after a 1-1 draw against FC Dallas.
“We had three tough road games. It’s not easy to play. You get a lot of travel, the weather and 5 points. But from my point of view it was a very positive road trip because you also placed yourself to win these games.”
The team’s strong form and son’s epic first goal will only raise expectations for his home debut next weekend. This is a clash with state rival San Diego FC, which currently holds the number one spot in the Western Conference.
