“Heung-min Son Hits Career High with 50th Goal for South Korea!”

Heung-min Son achieved a major milestone in international football on Thursday, helping South Korea secure a 3-1 victory over Kuwait.

Son Leads South Korea to Crucial Victory Captaining his side, Son guided South Korea to an important win, strengthening their lead in Group B of the AFC World Cup qualifiers. Oh Se-hun opened the scoring for the visitors, followed by Son’s successful penalty in the 19th minute, which brought South Korea to a 2-0 lead.

Although Mohammad Daham’s goal cut the lead in half, Bae Jun-ho sealed the win with a third goal for South Korea 14 minutes later.

Son Scores His 50th International Goal Son confidently converted the penalty, marking his 50th goal in South Korean colors. This milestone was achieved in just 130 matches—an impressive record for a player not primarily a striker.

Now only eight goals behind Cha Bum-kun’s national record, Son seems poised to break it before the end of his career.
