Son Heung-min sheds tears in Tottenham's farewell match

TPO - In the friendly match between Tottenham and Newcastle that just took place, Son Heung-min was the main character. He received a minute of gratitude from thousands of fans as well as players from both teams, at what was almost the last moment he wore the Tottenham shirt.

Tottenham and Newcastle met in a friendly match in Korea. Before that, Son Heung-min announced that he would leave Tottenham after a decade. This move made the match especially attractive to fans. Although it was just a friendly match, tickets were sold out in a short time. In the stands, in addition to the audience, many showbiz stars were also present to follow Son's steps.

In the 4th minute, Tottenham brought joy to the fans with Brennan Johnson's opening goal. This player had his own tribute to his senior Son by celebrating the goal in the typical style of the Korean star, raising his hand to pretend to take a photo.

In the 33rd minute, Newcastle equalized and the score was set at 1-1. But this was not the highlight of this match but Son's final minutes in a Tottenham shirt.

Son waved goodbye to fans

Overall, Son played a good role in this match. He was active for more than an hour on the field. In the 63rd minute, Son Heung-min was taken off the field. Players from both teams as well as fans in the stands gave him special attention. Tottenham and Newcastle members stood in two rows of honor, clapping to create a path for Son, while in the stands there was continuous applause from more than 60,000 fans.

In response, Son hugged the players from both teams. The cameras saw the 33-year-old star struggling to hold back tears. When he returned to the bench, Son took a while to calm down.

Tottenham will play Bayern Munich in a pre-season game on August 7. But the match against Newcastle is almost certain to be Son's last in a Tottenham shirt. After announcing his departure, he is said to be preparing to join Los Angeles FC in the US Major League Soccer.
