Son Heung Min scores a classy free-kick after breaking Messi's record

(Dan Tri) - Son Heung Min made Los Angeles FC (LAFC) fans happy when he scored a classy free kick in the match against FC Dallas in the US Major League Soccer.

In the match of round 27 of the US Major League Soccer (MLS) on the morning of August 24, Los Angeles FC (LAFC) visited FC Dallas. When the match had just started for 6 minutes, the star of the expected Son Heung Min made the audience at Toyota Stadium excited.

LAFC was awarded a free kick from about 25 meters away. Son Heung Min took a beautiful shot. The ball curved over the wall and flew straight into the net, leaving FC Dallas goalkeeper Michael Collodi helpless.

This was Son Heung Min's first goal in an LAFC shirt. Before that, this player made his mark in matches against Chicago Fire (winning a penalty) or New England Revolution (assisting).

In his career, Son Heung Min has only scored once from a free kick when he scored against Watford in the Premier League in 2021.

In the match against FC Dallas, the Korean striker was the bright spot for LAFC when he touched the ball 67 times and created 7 scoring opportunities. He was given the highest score on the field by the statistics website Sofascore with 8.7 points.

Unfortunately, Son Heung Min could not help LAFC win against FC Dallas. The home team equalized 1-1 in the 13th minute thanks to Farrington. This was also the final score of the match.

Since moving to the US for a league record fee (26 million USD), Son Heung Min has created a huge fever. Less than two weeks after signing a contract with LAFC, Korean superstar Son Heung Min immediately made an extraordinary achievement when his jersey "sold out" all over the world .

Son Heung Min's jersey sales have surpassed global icons such as Lionel Messi, LeBron James or Stephen Curry, proving the Korean player's huge appeal and influence in the US market.

Son Heung Min's appeal goes beyond just his record shirt sales, and has also created a "storm" in the ticket market. According to the Korea Times, ticket prices for LAFC matches have skyrocketed since the Korean star joined the club.

Specifically, ticket prices for the match between LAFC and San Diego FC on September 1st have increased dramatically, from around $300 to $1,500. This shows the enthusiasm and desire of fans in the US to see Son Heung Min play in person.
