Son Heung-min scores and assists, but LAFC draws 2-2: why the team trend matters as much as his rebound
Son Heung-min broke a long scoring silence for LAFC. Korean sports reports said Son scored for the first time in eight matches and also recorded an assist, while LAFC drew 2-2 and remained winless in six straight regular-season matches. That makes this match both personal good news and a reminder that the team still has structural problems to solve.

What is at stake
When an attacker scores and assists in the same match, the first reaction is usually positive. But the meaning changes when the team does not win. Son’s movement and finishing showed signs of recovery, yet LAFC failed to protect the result or fully control the match. Fans should look beyond the goal and check the defensive transition, second-half concentration, and balance after substitutions.
