Son Heung-min makes instant impact in LAFC debut
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. Teran had opened the scoring in the 11th with a header off a corner kick. Eight minutes later Ryan Hollingshead nodded in off a corner kick to pull LAFC level at 1-1. Son had said at his introductory press conference on Wednesday that he felt fighting fit and wanted to get on the pitch "as soon as possible." His arrival reunites him with former Tottenham teammate Hugo Lloris, the French goalkeeper who said the South Korean will make a "big impact." "It's great for the league, great for the city, great for the club," Lloris said. bb/aha

How to Watch Sporting Kansas City vs San Diego FC: Live Stream MLS, Start Time, TV Channel

Sporting Kansas City has its work cut out in attempting to topple Western Conference leader San Diego FC as the Major League Soccer season resumes on Saturday.

Anders Dreyer #10 of San Diego FC brings the ball downfield during the second half against Nashville SC during the MLS match between San Diego FC and Nashville SC at Snapdragon Stadium on July 25, 2025 in San Diego, California. MoreHow to Watch Sporting KC vs San Diego When: Saturday, August 9, 2025 Time: 8:30 PM ET TV Channel: FOX Deportes, FOX Sports 1 Live Stream: Fubo (try for free) San Diego FC has wasted no time in making an impact on Major League Soccer and leads the Western Conference as it prepares to resume its campaign with a trip to Sporting Kansas City on Saturday. The MLS season was briefly put on hold to allow those teams competing in the Leagues Cup to conduct their business. Mikey Varas' men were one of the 18 teams hoping to land the title, though they failed to reach the second stage of the competition and return to domestic matters this weekend. Sporting KC didn't participate in the League Cup due to their involvement in the CONCACAF Champions Cup earlier this year. That means interim coach Kerry Zavagnin has gone a fortnight without seeing his team in action, hopeful they won't suffer from any ring rust in their return to the pitch this weekend. The Wizards are currently three games without a win and sit 13th in MLS' Western Conference, six points off the play-off places as things stand. At the other end of the table, just one point separates San Diego from the Vancouver Whitecaps in second. A win for Saturday's guest would be enough to ensure Varas' side finishes this weekend atop the summit, with San Diego having won its last four league fixtures on the road.
