Son Heung-min makes instant impact in LAFC debut
CHICAGO: South Korea star Son Heung-min made his Major League Soccer debut for Los Angeles FC Saturday, providing a burst of energy as a second-half substitute in a 2-2 draw with the Fire in Chicago. Son drew a penalty in the 77th minute that new teammate Denis Bouanga converted to clinch the draw in the 81st minute — VAR confirming the spot kick after the referee initially let play continue. “Obviously it was definitely contact and it was definitely a penalty, I have no doubt about it,” said Son, who was sent sprawling in the area by Carlos Teran after getting loose on a breakaway. “And, yeah, we tied the game, but I think we should have won this game (so) a little bit disappointed.” In addition to drawing the penalty, Son had three shots on goal — all saved with relative ease by Fire keeper Chris Brady. Son signed with LAFC on Wednesday for a reported MLS record $26 million transfer fee after a decade with Tottenham in the Premier League — where he became a household name. The South Korea captain had announced just the previous Saturday in his homeland that he would be leaving Spurs. He departed as Tottenham’s fifth-highest goalscorer of all time with 173 goals in 454 appearances. Son’s first chance to play in front of home fans in Los Angeles will come against Western Conference leaders San Diego on August 31. But plenty of his jerseys, South Korean flags and signs welcoming him to MLS were dotted around the Fire’s SeatGeek Stadium and cheers greeted his entry in place of David Martinez in the 61st minute with the teams level at 1-1 Jonathan Bamba put Chicago up 2-1 in the 70th minute.
