The former Tottenham star makes an immediate impact off the bench against Chicago Fire
LAFC secures a 2-2 draw as Bouanga converts penalty won by Son Heung-min
Son Heung-min, who recently departed Tottenham Hotspur in England, left a strong impression in his debut match for Los Angeles FC.
On the morning of the 10th (Korean time), Son made his first appearance in the 27th round of the 2025 Major League Soccer (MLS) season, coming on as a substitute in the 61st minute against Chicago Fire at SeatGeek Stadium in Bridgeview, Illinois.
His impact was felt in the 77th minute, with LAFC trailing 2-1.
During a swift counterattack, Son displayed his trademark speed, charging into the opponent's penalty area with the ball. As he threatened to break through, Chicago defender Teran brought him down inside the box, resulting in a penalty kick.
Denis Bouanga stepped up to take the spot kick, blasting it in with his right foot to level the score. The match ended 2-2 after neither side managed to add to the tally.
Looking ahead, LAFC is set to visit the New England Revolution for their next fixture, kicking off at 8:30 a.m. on the 17th.
