Son started as captain for the MLS All-Stars and played a crucial role in turning the game around. He equalized in the 20th minute after the team had fallen behind 0-1, and then scored again just three minutes later with a composed volley. The experience was clearly a highlight for the South Korean star, who relished the opportunity to play alongside and against top talent in a celebratory atmosphere.
