Son Heung-min's 1st MLS marker voted season's best goal

Son Heung-min's first marker in Major League Soccer (MLS) has been chosen as the top goal of the year. MLS announced on its website Monday (U.S. local time) that Son's free kick goal for Los Angeles Football Club (LAFC) against FC Dallas on Aug. 23 was selected by fans as the 2025 AT&T Goal of the Year. It was Son's first MLS goal in his third game for LAFC after the South Korean superstar had left Tottenham Hotspur earlier in August. After teammate Denis Bouanga was fouled just outside the box, Son stepped up to curl the ensuing free kick over the wall and into the top left corner, past the diving goalkeeper Michael Collodi. Son wrapped up his first MLS regular season with nine goals and three assists in 10 matches, and LAFC are now gearing up for a playoff match against Austin FC this week. The Goal of the Year was determined by fan votes on the MLS website and has been awarded since the league's inaugural 1996 season. Son is the first Asian-born player and also the first LAFC player to win this award.Weiter zum vollständigen Artikel bei Korea Times Weiter zum vollständigen Artikel bei Korea Times
