Son Heung‑min LAFC scoring and workload

Entities: Son Heung‑min · Los Angeles FC · Denis Bouanga · Sporting Kansas City · Hugo Lloris

Overview

Following a June 26, 2026 4‑0 victory over Sporting Kansas City in which Son Heung‑min recorded his third straight MLS goal, the forward again opened the scoring five minutes into the July 26, 2026 match — another 4‑0 win over the same opponent. The result gave LAFC its fourth consecutive league win, extended its unbeaten run since the World Cup break, and moved the club to 33 points, sharing the Western Conference lead. Son’s early strike marked his fourth consecutive league goal, while Denis Bouanga added a brace and David Martínez also found the net. Coach Marc Dos Santos reiterated that the workload‑management plan is keeping Son fresh amid a congested schedule of MLS and Leagues Cup fixtures.

The club’s defensive stability continued, with goalkeeper Hugo Lloris earning his tenth clean sheet of the season. LAFC’s next league challenge is set against the Vancouver Whitecaps.
