Los Angeles FC's South Korean superstar Son Heung-min grabbed his first Major League Soccer goal on Saturday, burying a first-half free kick in a 1-1 draw with FC Dallas.

Son, the former Tottenham captain who signed with LAFC this month for a reported MLS record US$26 million transfer fee, made his third appearance, and second start, for his new club.

Son scored in the sixth minute from a well-taken free kick after teammate Denis Bouanga was brought down 25 yards from the goal.

"I'm glad I scored the first goal for the MLS and also for LAFC," Son said. "But for me, the most important thing is to get three points. I'm really, really disappointed for that."

Son has wasted no time in making his presence felt. His first goal comes a week after he delivered an assist in LAFC's 2-0 win over New England Revolution.

"I need still a lot of time to be connecting with the team," said Son, who will play his first home game next weekend when LAFC host Western Conference leaders San Diego.

"It's been only two weeks – maybe a little bit more than two weeks. But I'm enjoying every single moment."

Logan Farrington equalised for Dallas in the 13th minute, and while LAFC dominated possession, they could not find another goal.

Elsewhere, Inter Miami, playing without injured Argentine superstar Lionel Messi, were held to a 1-1 draw at DC United. (AFP)
