In the fifth minute, Son stood over a free kick from 25 yards out and curled a stunning effort into the top right corner of Michael Collodi’s net — a goal worthy of any highlight reel.

Take a bow, son — no pun intended.

It marked yet another goal contribution from the 33-year-old South Korean international, who had already recorded his first assist in the previous matchday during LAFC’s 2-0 win over the New England Revolution.

Son's instant impact is being felt not only on the pitch but across the global football and sports landscape. His LAFC No. 7 jersey has quickly become the highest-selling shirt in the world, surpassing global icons like Lionel Messi at Inter Miami and even NBA legend LeBron James of the Los Angeles Lakers.

With his trademark charisma and talent, Son is already looking like one of the most influential signings in MLS history — and he's only just getting started.
