Son Heung-Min Scores 2 as MLS All-Stars Post 4-3 Win over LIGA MX All-Stars
Son Heung-min scored twice in three minutes and Carles Gil assisted both goals as MLS rallied to beat Liga MX 4-3.
On Wednesday, July 29, 2026, the Major League Soccer All-Stars defeated the Liga MX All-Stars 4-3 at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, N.C., with LAFC forward Son Heung-min scoring two goals.
The league improved its record against Liga MX to four wins in five matchups, despite the absence of Inter Miami forward Lionel Messi, who rested following Argentina's World Cup final loss.
Chicago Fire midfielder Philip Zinckernagel and FC Cincinnati midfielder Evander da Silva Ferreira added goals for the MLS, while Liga MX responded with scores from Salomon Rondon and Cruz Azul midfielder Jose Paradela.
Son claimed the MVP award for his first-half brace, celebrating by mimicking holding an old-fashioned "camera" by framing the shot with his fingers.
The 2026 MLS season continues following this exhibition, with league play pushing toward Decision Day on November 7.
The former Bayern player will be substituted in the show match against the best from the Mexican league in the 4-3 success of the American professional league. The South Korean Son will be the man of the game.
