Los Angeles FC coach Mark dos Santos expressed strong support for Son Heung-min following his recent scoring surge. Son, who had a slow start to the regular season before the World Cup break, has now scored in two consecutive games, including the team's first goal against Real Salt Lake. Dos Santos highlighted Son's improved finishing and his consistent belief in the player's ability to contribute, despite acknowledging the natural ups and downs in a player's journey.

LAFC has shown impressive form, securing three consecutive wins and scoring six goals in two games since the World Cup break. Dos Santos emphasized the team's calm approach, even during a previous three-game losing streak, and their commitment to continuous improvement, focusing on increasing pressure and refining ball possession. The club also celebrated Son Heung-min with a special Babblehead giveaway, which teammates Mathieu Schuaniere and Denny Buanga humorously admired.
