Son Heung-min scores free kick in South Korea's friendly against Ecuador

Son Heung-min scored a stunning free kick for South Korea in their friendly match against Ecuador on September 24, 2026, at Suwon World Cup Stadium. This goal came in the 58th minute, putting South Korea ahead 2-0 in a match they eventually won 3-0. The goal brings Son within one strike of becoming South Korea's all-time leading goal scorer, currently held by Cha Bum-kun. Previously, Son had not scored during the World Cup, where South Korea did not advance past the group stage. After the tournament, he had a successful start with LAFC, scoring twice in his first MLS All-Star Game. South Korea looks to build on this victory moving forward.
