MLS All-Star Son Heung-min Scores 2 Goals in 3 Minutes, Named MVP

Son Heung-min, the star forward for the MLS All-Stars, electrified the crowd by scoring two goals in a mere three minutes during the All-Star game against Mexico's Liga MX All-Stars. The match, held at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina, saw Son named the Most Valuable Player (MVP) after his decisive performance, which propelled the MLS team to a 4-3 win.

Son, who captained the MLS squad, turned the game around when his team was trailing 0-1. He netted his first goal in the 20th minute and followed it up with another just three minutes later, shifting the momentum entirely. He was substituted out in the 35th minute, having already made a significant impact.

Despite Son's early exit, the MLS All-Stars extended their lead to 3-1 with a goal from Philip Zinckernagel. The game remained competitive, ultimately concluding with the MLS All-Stars securing a 4-3 victory.

The highly anticipated pairing of Son and German football legend Thomas Müller did not materialize on the field as planned. Müller, who was on the bench, only entered the game in the 18th minute of the second half, meaning he and Son did not share playing time.

Reflecting on the experience, Son expressed his enjoyment and gratitude. "It was really fun and I was happy," he said in a post-match interview. "Even though we didn't know each other well, everyone was great. It was a truly wonderful experience."
