[골닷컴, 쿠웨이트시티] Reporter Hyeong-joong Kim = Son Heung-min (32, Tottenham Hotspur), the best star in Korean football, has reached the 50-goal mark in international games. We looked at Son Heung-min’s 50 goals, which is tied for second most goals in A-game history among Korean players.
Mac Heung-min quickly kicked his penalty goal in the away game against Kuwait on the night of the 14th for the 2026 FIFA North and Central America World Cup Asia 3rd qualifying round. With this, he succeeded in scoring his 50th international match goal, putting him on the same level as Daejeon Hana Citizen coach Hwang Seon-hong (56). Now he is running towards former coach Cha Bum-geun’s record (71) of 58 goals.
Son Heung-min scored his first national team goal in the third match against India in the group stage of the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Asian Cup held in Qatar in January 2011. It was his first goal in three A-match games, and at the age of 18 years and 194 days, he was the second-youngest goalscorer in A-match history for a Korean player . After that, he spent himself as a member of the national team for about 13 years and scored 50 goals.
The right foot is the most scoring area. 31 goals were scored with the right foot. However, through persistent effort, he was able to use his left leg well, almost to the point of being two-legged, and scored 15 goals with his left leg. It can be seen that when two goals are scored with the right foot, one goal is also scored with the left foot. Furthermore, all three goals scored in the 2014 and 2018 World Cups came from the left foot. The other four goals were headers.
His shooting ability is so good that he doesn’t care if he is inside or outside the penalty box. 33 goals were scored from inside the box and 17 from outside. He also recorded the most kick goals with 6, surpassing Ha Seok-ju, who was second with 4 goals, and also recorded the most penalty kick goals with 8, surpassing Park I-cheon who was second with 6 goals.
There is also one hat trick game. Recorded in Russia’s 2018 World Cup qualifier against Laos in September 2015. Has a total of 9 multi-goal games, including 1 hat trick. Last year and this year, he scored in three consecutive games. In 2023, he scored consecutive goals against Vietnam, Singapore, and China, and this year, he scored consecutive goals in two consecutive games against Thailand and against Singapore.
Jaeseong Lee can definitely be chosen as a special assistant. Lee Jae-seong, born in 1992, gave Son Heung-min five assists, followed by Ki Sung-yong and Lee Kang-in with three each.
He scored three goals in the World Cup finals and seven goals in the Asian Cup finals. The competition in which he scored the most goals was the Asian World Cup qualifiers, which had the most matches, with 24 goals scored. In friendly matches, he scored 16 goals. Looking at the scoring opponents by continent, Asia has the most goals with 32. South America follows with 7 goals, North and Central America with 5 goals, Africa with 4 goals, and Europe with 2 goals. In particular, he showed a strong performance by scoring 5 goals each against Colombia and Laos.
The years with the most goals are the same in 2015 and 2024 with 9 goals. However, with the match against Palestine on the 19th remaining as the last A-game of the year, the team may get double-digit A-game scores this year.
