Son Heung-min of LAFC missed out on scoring his first goal of the regular season, but his team achieved their fourth consecutive win since the season began.
Son Heung-min, playing for LAFC, aimed for his first goal of the regular season during a match on September 15 against St. Louis at the BMO Stadium in Los Angeles. Despite his efforts, including three assists in the previous matches, he was unable to score. However, LAFC secured a 2-0 victory thanks to Mathieu Schoenier's two goals, marking their fourth consecutive win without conceding a single goal, thus maintaining their lead in the Western Conference.
LAFC's impressive start to the season extends beyond the regular league, as they remain undefeated in all official matches this season with six wins and one draw in a total of seven games, including a Champions Cup match. Son had previously found the net in the Champions Cup via a penalty kick but is still searching for his inaugural goal in the MLS regular season. His active participation in the match included creating shooting opportunities for his teammates, emphasizing his ongoing impact despite not scoring.
The game also involved a brief appearance from Sung-bin Jung of St. Louis, who came on in the second half but did not manage to score or contribute to the team's efforts. Overall, while Son's personal goal tally remains unfulfilled, the team's strong performance reflects their solid start to the league season, keeping them at the forefront of the competition in North America.
