Living up to the expectations of American fans, Son Heung-min had a fantastic game. In the very first minute, the striker scored against the home team, San Jose Earthquakes, with a shot inside the penalty area.

In the 12th minute, the San Jose Earthquakes' defense once again neglected Bouanga, allowing him to comfortably break through and score with a skillful finish, increasing the score to 3-0.
