[Sports Round-up] Son Heung-min scores first MLS goal

Time now to take a look at what's been happening in the world of sports.

For that, we have our sports editor Paul Neat in the studio with us.

Hello, Paul.

Hello.

Let's begin with football.

The South Korea national team squad was announced this afternoon ahead of two upcoming friendlies.

Yes, against the USA in New Jersey and Mexico in Nashville in September.

The big news is that there is a first inclusion for Jens Castrop, a 22-year-old midfielder who was born in Germany to a South Korean mother.

He recently changed his national team allegiance to Korea.

He is one of 26 players in the squad.

There are returns for goalkeeper Kim Seung-gyu, left back Lee Myung-jae, midfielder Bae Jun-ho, and forward Jeong Sang-bin.

With a place in the World Cup secured, Hong Myung-bo will now be running the rule over his players to decide who makes it into the squad next summer.

Staying with football.

A first MLS goal for Son Heung-min.

Yes, and what a goal it was.

Son on Saturday sent in a superb free kick with just six minutes on the clock.

It gave LAFC a 1-0 lead away to FC Dallas, but the match ended in a 1-1 draw despite LAFC dominating the game.

Elsewhere, Kim Min-jae on Saturday got an assist to tee up Harry Kane in a 6-0 Bayern Munich win over RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga.

And in the English Championship on Saturday, Paik Seung-ho got his first goal of the season, helping Birmingham City earn a 1-0 win over Oxford United.

Moving on to baseball.

The KBO record we were all expecting.

Yes, 10 million fans for the second year in a row.

The milestone was reached on Saturday, and another one could soon follow.

The overall regular-season record was set last year at nearly 10-point-9 million and that was reached after 671 games.

This year, it was reached after 587 games.

The KBO has already set a new sellout record, currently at 278.

The regular season is set to end on September 30th.

The LG Twins sit top, 5-point-5 games ahead of the Hanwha Eagles.

Sticking with baseball.

A season-best hitting streak for Lee Jung-hoo of the San Francisco Giants.

Yes, 10 games, which was reached on Thursday.

This meant he was just one hit away from his career-best 11-game hitting streak from last year.

Hit number 10 came in the Giants' 8-4 loss to the San Diego Padres on Thursday local time, batting 1-for-3 with a walk.

During his 10-game run, Lee is hitting 12-for-36.

So far this month, Lee has had at least one hit in 18 of 20 games and has a point-320 batting average.

The Giants are next in action away to the Chicago Cubs on Tuesday, local time.

Alright, thanks for that wrap-up, Paul.

We shall see you again next week.

Yes, thank you very much.
