LAFC Son Heung-min's 4-game MLS goal streak ends... The team lost 0-1 to San Diego.

(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Ahn Hong-seok = American professional soccer player Los Angeles FC (LAFC) Son Heung-min's Major League Soccer (MLS) goal streak stopped in four games.

Son Heung-min started in the 2026 MLS home game against San Diego FC held at BMO Stadium in LA, California, USA on the 16th (Korean time) and played the full time without scoring any offensive points.

LAFC scored a penalty kick goal in the 44th minute of the second half and lost 0-1.

Son Heung-min's streak of four consecutive MLS goals following the 2026 North and Central America World Cup came to an end.

As of official games, they had recorded no points in 4 consecutive games until this day.

Son Heung-min failed to score a goal in three League Cup games after the last goal in MLS, the Vancouver Whitecaps match, and entered the regular league game against San Diego today.

Son Heung-min scored 6 goals in official matches this season, including 4 goals in the regular league and 2 goals in the CONCACAF Champions Cup.

LAFC, undefeated in 5 league games (4 wins, 1 draw), was in 3rd place with 35 points (10 wins, 5 draws, 5 losses).

Son Heung-min had several good scoring opportunities.

In the 5th minute of the first half, the attempted left-footed shot after breaking through the left side of the goal area hit the side net.

In the 36th minute of the first half, Denis Buanga made a flurry of left-hand attacks and crossed over a cutback aimed at Son Heung-min, who was lurking in front of the goal, but before he could set his foot, San Diego fullback Luca Bombino cleared the ball.

Son Heung-min's left-footed shot after creating a one-on-one situation with the goalkeeper in the 9th minute of the second half missed the right side of the goal, and his shot from the right side of the goal area in the 26th minute of the second half was blocked by the defender.

Son Heung-min also received a yellow card from the referee after colliding with San Diego striker Anders Dreyer, who made a rough tackle in extra time in the second half.

Son Heung-min's attack partner Buanga also created a disappointing scene.

In the 22nd minute of the first half, Buanga caught a long ball from behind and fired a shot into the goal, but the goal was disallowed due to a handball foul as it was revealed on video review that he had trapped the ball with his arm.

San Diego won with Dreyer's penalty kick goal in the 44th minute of the second half.

Earlier, in a corner kick situation in San Diego, LAFC defender Ryan Porteous committed a handball foul and was awarded a penalty kick.

Dreyer, who scored this goal and received a yellow card while celebrating with his shirt off, received a second yellow card after colliding with Son Heung-min and was sent off.
