We’re in for another full slate of MLS action this weekend! Here are four players you should be keeping a close eye on on Matchday 7!
Heung-Min Son (LAFC)
Up Next: Saturday, April 11 at Portland, 4:45 pm ET (Fox, Apple TV)
Heung-Min Son is on fire. The South Korean international assisted an unbelievable four goals in LAFC’s 6-0 win over Orlando last weekend, and grabbed a goal in a 3-0 win over Cruz Azul in a midweek Concacaf match.
So far this season, he’s logged two goals and 10 assists in just 11 matches in all competitions, with LAFC looking like the most complete and dynamic team in MLS. His partnership with Denis Bouanga is telepathic, with attackers Tyler Boyd, Jacob Shaffelburg and Nathan Ordaz also thriving.
Son is on pace for an MVP-caliber season, and it’s going to be must-watch all year.
