NEW YORK - Son Heung-min scored one goal and set up another to spark South Korea's 2-0 victory over the United States in an international football friendly in New Jersey on Sept 6 between two teams bound for the 2026 World Cup.
The South Koreans advanced through Asian qualifying to the 2026 World Cup, to be co-hosted by the US, Canada and Mexico.
Son scored in the 18th minute and Lee Dong-gyeong added another in the 43rd to secure South Korea's triumph against a US side coached by Mauricio Pochettino - Son's former boss at Tottenham Hotspur.
Son joined Major League Soccer's Los Angeles FC in a blockbuster move in August that has energised South Korean football fans in America.
They were out in force, prompting South Korea coach Hong Myung-bo to say the fixture was "like a home match".
On Son, he added: "As our striker and our first line of defence, Son Heung-min did a great job leading the team."
