Match Results & Standings
Inter Miami kept the buzz alive by edging Tigres 2‑1 in the Leagues Cup quarter‑final, even though Messi missed the game with a minor muscle issue. Luis Suárez stepped up and nailed two penalties, proving the team can still win without its superstar. Meanwhile, the MLS regular season is heating up. LAFC grabbed a 3‑1 win over the New York Red Bulls, with Carlos Vela scoring twice and defending the West Coast’s lead in the Western Conference.
In the Eastern Conference, New York City FC earned a gritty 2‑0 victory over Atlanta United, thanks to a late header from Taty Castellanos. This win pushed NYCFC into the top three and put pressure on the Philadelphia Union, who dropped points after a 1‑1 draw with Orlando City. The standings are tighter than ever, so every point matters as teams jostle for playoff spots.
Transfer Rumors & Player News
One of the biggest stories this month is the ongoing transfer chatter around Inter Miami’s midfield. Rumors suggest that an experienced European midfielder could join the squad before the next season, aiming to give Messi and Suarez more support. While no official announcement has been made, sources say the club is in talks with a few names from the Bundesliga.
On the other side of the league, the Seattle Sounders have been linked with a rising star from the USL Championship. The 21‑year‑old forward has scored 18 goals this season and might get a chance to prove himself in the MLS spotlight. If the deal goes through, it could boost Seattle’s attacking depth as they chase the Supporters' Shield.
Players returning from injury also make headlines. Toronto FC’s midfielder, Jonathan Osorio, is back after a six‑month layoff and is expected to start the next match against the Columbus Crew. Fans are eager to see if his creativity can spark Toronto’s offense, which has struggled to find the net lately.
Beyond transfers, the league’s new marketing push is worth noting. MLS announced a partnership with a major streaming platform to broadcast select games worldwide, expanding the league’s reach beyond North America. This move aims to attract more international fans and showcase the growing talent pool.
