Matchday 20 of the MLS season has just wrapped up, but we’d be eager to go back a few days in time and watch it happen again, as some of the matches that took place were amazing.
Philadelphia Union needs to start worrying, as they are now only one point ahead of a strong Cincinnati, which is currently building a winning streak. Nashville and Columbus are one point behind them, following the same path.
San Diego FC managed to remain the leader in the Western Conference, still holding one point over the Vancouver Whitecaps. However, Vancouver now has a 4-point lead over the 3rd-placed team.
Matches on the 20th Matchday of the MLS were contested and interesting. Now, it is time for us to give a little breakdown of what unfolded during the weekend before we dive into the next set of games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This was quite an eventful match, but Orlando City started to fall behind in first-half stoppage time on an easily preventable goal as Cincinnati was starting their momentum.
Sadly, even scoring once, the Lions couldn’t turn the game, resulting in a 2-1 loss. It wasn’t an impressive advertisement for the beautiful game, as both teams clearly showed the fatigue of playing midweek on the road.
Evander was the hero of the night for Cincinnati, as he scored on both sides of halftime, his second brace in as many games, to extend the Orange and Blue’s winning streak to three consecutive games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After seeing the Colorado Rapids score two goals in the first half, we’d have thought they’d claim a win, and that got reinforced when the team scored a third goal in the 55th minute for a 3-0 lead.
However, the New England Revolution managed to surprise everyone, as three minutes later, they began their charge back into the match when Gil danced on the left side of the box and sent in a dangerous cross, which Colorado’s Sam Vines deflected into his own net.
In the 86th, the Revolution was awarded a penalty kick after Gil was pulled down in the box. The captain calmly converted his seventh goal of the season to make it 3-2.
In stoppage time,\u00a0Tanner Beason\u00a0curled a cross into the box directly onto Urruti’s head, who sent it into the corner of the net for the dramatic equalizer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
