The US men's national team fell 2-0 to South Korea Saturday at Sports Illustrated Stadium in the first of two September international friendlies.

LAFC summer marquee signing Son Heung-Min led the Taegeuk Warriors to victory, opening the score and providing an assist in a standout performance at the home of the New York Red Bulls .

Son slipped through the USMNT defense and beat New York City FC goalkeeper Matt Freese at the near post in the 18th minute before setting up Lee Dong-Gyeong's backheel finish at the stroke of halftime.

Chris Richards almost pulled one back for the hosts, forcing a close-range save from Jo Hyeon Woo in the 73rd minute. However, South Korea held firm defensively to close out the win.
