The race for the MLS Eastern Conference title has heated up yet again following a busy round of MLS action over the weekend.
Following their close 2-1 victory over Philadelphia Union, Toronto FC are now level on points with current Eastern Conference leaders Columbus Crew. While Columbus started the day with a two-point advantage, their draw with SC Dallas means that their superior goal difference is all that separates them from their Canadian rivals.
In yesterday’s highest-scoring game of the evening, New York City FC defeated Inter Miami 3-2 in what proved to be a crucial three points on the road for the New Yorkers. This result sees NYC FC surge into fifth place on the Eastern Conference standings.
Shifting over to the Western Conference and current leaders Seattle Sounders continued to establish their dominance with a resounding 3-1 away win over the struggling LA Galaxy. Galaxy, who seem to be a shadow of their former selves, currently sit at the foot of the table.
The Portland Timbers’ win over the Vancouver Whitecaps keeps them within reaching distance of the Sounders, while Sporting Kansas City’s 2-1 victory over Houston Dynamo sees them retain third spot.
