Los Angeles (LA FC) head coach Marc Dos Santos has expressed unwavering confidence in Son Heung-min, who has been on a hot streak with three consecutive goals.
On July 26, LA FC dominated Kansas City with a 4-0 victory in their 2026 Major League Soccer (MLS) home game at BMO Stadium in Los Angeles, California.
With a record of 10 wins, 3 draws, and 5 losses (33 points), LA FC currently sits in second place, level on points with the Vancouver Whitecaps (33 points), positioning themselves for a potential leap to the top of the table.
Son has emphatically shaken off his pre-World Cup scoring drought, where he failed to find the net in 13 games, by scoring in all three matches since the World Cup break.
Following the match against Kansas City, Coach Dos Santos affirmed that he’s never doubted Son’s abilities or his importance to the team.
He added that last season, he had some luck with shots deflecting off defenders and going in. This time, he’s faced some misfortune with crucial shots hitting the defense. But that doesn’t change his belief in his scoring prowess.
Recently, Son has displayed renewed confidence through impressive shooting and dribbling, seemingly unburdened by his World Cup goal drought.
Coach Dos Santos praised Son’s recent performances, stating that Son is showing great decision-making and the form that made him one of the best. As always, he’ll continue to back him fully.
In the match, Son wasted no time making his mark, coolly slotting home a one-on-one chance against the goalkeeper just five minutes into the first half, celebrating with a passionate roar.
