The MLS season continues to get more exciting as matchdays go by. The Eastern Conference remains tight when it comes to the teams at the top and how they have been trying to take over.
When it comes to the Western Conference, Vancouver keeps a 4-point lead, but right after that, the rest of the teams are battling for spots, keeping things at a 4-point difference between the second and 12th place.
The Vancouver Whitecaps are on an amazing six wins, two draws, and one loss run. On the other hand, the Eastern leaders, Charlotte, sit at six wins, one draw, and two losses.
Cincinnati is right there with Charlotte, so things are really contested on one side of the board. Now, it is time to break down the results of some of the matches we had during the recent matchday to see where we are going moving forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This was an interesting clash because both teams had entered the field as the only undefeated squads in the MLS regular season, but now, only one remains with that title.
The Crew finally went through their first loss of the MLS regular season, falling 1-0 against Inter Miami, as the lone goal came in the 30th minute off a header from Miami midfielder Benjamin Cremaschi.
Miami controlled the offense in the first half, but the Crew had 11 second-half shot attempts that they failed to connect on, while Miami was held to one second-half shot.
Even with the lack of offense in the second half, Inter Miami remains undefeated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
