Son Heung-min of LAFC scored in his fourth consecutive match in Major League Soccer (MLS).


On August 2, Korean time, Son netted the opening goal in the 37th minute during an away match against the Vancouver Whitecaps at BC Place in Canada.


This marked Son's fourth goal in MLS and extended his scoring streak to four matches.


After a slow start to the season, Son found the net for the first time in the regular league on July 18 against LA Galaxy, following the FIFA North America World Cup break, contributing to a 3-0 victory.


Since then, Son has regained his scoring touch, adding goals against Real Salt Lake on July 23 (3-1 win) and Kansas City on July 26 (4-0 win), culminating in his latest goal against Vancouver.


With his goal against Vancouver, Son's official tally for the season now stands at six, including two goals in the CONCACAF Champions Cup.


Starting as the central forward, Son connected the team's first shot on goal with his opening strike in the 37th minute.


After capitalizing on a defensive error, Denis Bouanga intercepted the ball and passed it to Son, who turned and fired a stunning right-footed shot into the net.


However, Son's goal did not lead to a victory for LAFC, as they conceded a penalty equalizer to Thomas Müller in the 76th minute.


Ultimately, LAFC finished the match in a 1-1 draw.
