Tottenham Hotspur (England) fans rejoiced in captain Son Heung-min's (31) trademark winding kick, but were devastated by his injury.
Son scored a brace in a 5-0 win over Singapore on Saturday at the Seoul World Cup Stadium in the first leg of their Group C match in the second Asian qualifying round for the FIFA Confederations Cup North America 2026 at the Seoul World Cup Stadium.
Son, who took to the field wearing the captain's armband, rattled the net with a stunning left-footed curling shot from the right side of the penalty box in the 18th minute despite being heavily guarded by the opposition.

But there was also a dizzying moment. In the second half, when the game was already in the balance, he went down in a rough tackle by an opponent and was unable to get up for a while. "It was completely unnecessary," said head coach Jürgen Klinsmann in the post-match press conference. I was very angry in the moment," he said in the post-match press conference.
The news of Son's performance and injury didn't go unnoticed by local fans in England.

"In the chilly weather, Son Heung-min looked a bit uncomfortable and limped while receiving treatment in the second half, holding his right ankle," the media reported, "but he returned to the field and played the full 90 minutes.

Tottenham fans are keeping a close eye on Son's condition because of the recent string of injuries to Spurs' main players.
With a relatively thin squad, Tottenham have lost first-choice center back Micky Van der Vaart to a hamstring injury and key midfielder James Maddison to injury. Both have been ruled out for the year. 고스톱
