Son Heungmin scored two goals and led Korea to a 50 victory in a friendly match against Trinidad and Tobago held in Provo, Utah, USA, on May 31. Son Heungmin, who scored in an A match for the first time in a while this year, showed signs of regaining his scoring touch with the national team.
Son Heungmin scored the opening goal in the 40th minute of the first half by receiving Kim Moonhwan's cross, and added another goal from a penalty kick three minutes later. In the second half, one more shot hit the post, so he fell short of a hat trick, but he dominated the flow of the match and played a central role in the attack.
After the match, Son Heungmin stressed that rather than getting carried away by the result, they need to prepare for the bigger stage, the World Cup. He also said that the players' focus is more important than current issues within the Korea Football Association, expressing that the team must unite as one.
