Despite Son Heung-min's efforts, LAFC's recent momentum has stalled
Son Heung-min LAFC power rankings: despite one assist in the San Diego match, he remained in 4th place Check now whether LAFC can turn things around against Toluca after its shaky defense
Son Heungmin came on as a substitute against San Diego and recorded one assist, but LAFC was unable to improve its ranking in ESPN's MLS Power Rankings. LAFC remained in 4th place after drawing 22 with San Diego.
ESPN said that LAFC had kept clean sheets in six consecutive matches early in the season, but in its last five games it has conceded eight goals, causing its defensive stability to waver. It was also pointed out that, unlike earlier in the season, the team has not been able to maintain the flow of games consistently.
Son Heungmin has recently been appearing in a rotation system as the league and Champions Cup schedules overlap. In the last five league matches, his starting opportunities have been limited, and he has yet to score in league play this season. LAFC is scheduled to play the second leg of the CONCACAF Champions Cup semifinals against Toluca on the 7th.
