Son Heung-min broke his scoring silence with one goal and one assist, yet his team, Los Angeles FC, remained winless for a sixth consecutive match, according to v.daum.net.
The South Korean forward found the net for the first time in eight games, notching his fifth goal of the season in the 2-2 draw, as reported by news.kbs.co.kr. The result, covered by Yonhap News Agency, leaves LAFC still searching for a victory after six straight league fixtures without one.
Per MBC News, Son's contribution included both a goal and an assist, ending a personal drought that had lasted eight matches. The draw means LAFC's winless streak continues despite the attacker's return to form.
The assist was Son's 11th of the league campaign, placing him second in the MLS assist standings, trailing only Lionel Messi, according to v.daum.net. That report suggests Son remains a viable contender for the league's assist title.
South Korean media have dubbed the attacking partnership involving Son as the "Heung-bo combo," a play on words referencing his name, with the duo showing strong on-field chemistry, per news.kbs.co.kr.
Son's output in this match — a goal and an assist — represents a notable uptick after a quieter period. However, individual production did not translate into three points for LAFC, which has now gone six matches without a win across all competitions.
The team will need to convert such performances into results soon, as the winless run puts pressure on the squad to reverse its fortunes. For Son, maintaining this level of contribution could be key to both his personal statistics and LAFC's hopes of ending the slump.
Watch whether Son can build on this performance in the next fixture and help LAFC finally secure a victory.
