Los Angeles Football Club’s (LA FC) Son Heung-min is gearing up to reignite his scoring form against the Colorado Rapids, a team he found the net against last year.
The match is set for Thursday at 10:30 a.m. (KST) at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City, Colorado.
Son has positive memories facing Colorado. In last October’s season finale at the same venue, he started and scored with a left-footed strike in the 42nd minute, marking LA FC’s 500th regular-season goal. That game ended in a 2-2 draw.
All eyes are on Son to see if he can rediscover his scoring touch against Colorado after a recent dry spell.
The South Korean star hasn’t scored in his last four outings. Following a hot streak of four consecutive games with goals after the 2026 World Cup qualifiers break, Son has been goalless in three League Cup matches and one Major League Soccer (MLS) game.
LA FC is eager for Son to get back on the scoresheet.
Despite leading the Western Conference, LA FC stumbled in the League Cup tournament. Their recent 1-0 loss to San Diego on the 16th highlights their struggle for consistency.
A quick turnaround hinges on the partnership between Denis Bouanga and Son. Their synergy is key to unlocking Colorado’s defense. Son finding his scoring boots again could be the catalyst LA FC needs.
However, Son’s involvement remains uncertain. With LA FC managing minutes after a packed schedule post-World Cup break, local reports suggest Son might be rested for this match. If he does play, fans are curious about his role and minutes on the field.
Colorado won’t be pushovers. They’re showing signs of resurgence, recently beating Sporting Kansas City 2-0 and notching three wins in four matches since the World Cup break.
