Son Heung-Min made a notable debut for LAFC, winning a penalty kick that helped the team secure a 2-2 draw against the Chicago Fire. Coming on as a substitute shortly after his record $26 million transfer from Tottenham Hotspur, Son was fouled by Chicago's Carlos Terán. The penalty was awarded after a VAR review and was converted by Denis Bouanga to equalize. Son expressed disappointment at not winning but was pleased with his performance and eager to score soon. LAFC showed resilience, having previously equalized earlier in the match.
It was a great pass and there was definitely contact and it was definitely a penalty, no doubt about it.
A bit disappointed not getting three points but I think everybody put in a lot of effort, happy I made my debut and I hope the goals come soon.
We tied the game but I think we should win this game and I'm a little disappointed.
Son made his debut just days after sealing an MLS-record $26 million transfer from Tottenham Hotspur.
