'Hope that the goals are coming soon' - Son Heung-Min pleased to make LAFC debut, though disappointed by draw vs Chicago Fire

Son Heung-min made his highly anticipated Major League Soccer debut for Los Angeles Football Club in a road match against Chicago Fire that ended in an engaging 2-2 draw. Following the match, Son expressed  frustration with the result, stating that the team had created sufficient opportunities to secure three points.

“Obviously, it's a bit disappointed, not getting three points," he told Apple TV. "But generally, I think everybody put a lot of effort and happy to make the debut and I hope the goals are coming soon... we tied this game, but as I said before, we should have won this game. I'm a little bit disappointed." 

Overall, Son was pleased to get his LAFC tenure underway, saying, "I'm happy I made the debut, and I hope that the goals are coming soon."

The former Tottenham captain came off the bench for his debut with the score tied 1-1 and played a key role in winning a penalty that saw LAFC equalise after going 2-1 down. 

“I'm getting ready and it was, decent 30 minutes on my leg, in my leg. So, yeah, getting ready for next week. We’ll see how I progress with the training session and with the players. And yeah, we'll see how about next week I can start the game and make big impact."

The 33-year-old signed for the MLS this summer after spending the last decade with Premier League side Tottenham, winning the Europa League in his final season with the club.

Following their 2-2 draw, LAFC sit fifth on the Western Conference, well behind Conference leaders San Diego FC. They face the New England Revolution away from home on Aug. 16 followed by a road trip to FC Dallas on Aug. 23.
