Nashville are inching closer to history. After a 4-1 demolition of Austin, B.J. Callaghan's side hold a 12-point lead in the Supporters' Shield race. They need 12 points from their final six games to break the MLS single-season points record set by Inter Miami in 2024.

No team is ripping through opponents as easily as St. Louis. They made quick work of the Galaxy on Sunday evening, with attacking midfielder Carlo Holse securing a hat trick inside the first 21 minutes en route to a 6-2 home win. St. Louis look like the class of the West, and it doesn't look close.

After a five-game winless run, Miami finally claimed three points in a 4-0 victory over D.C. United. Thanks to a brace from Lionel Messi and another from Luis Suárez, Miami showed their teeth coming out of the international break. Philadelphia, meanwhile, have not lost any of their 13 games since the World Cup break, extending their winning streak to seven matches with a 2-1 win over Real Salt Lake.

Chicago stormed back in the second half to claim a 2-1 win over NYCFC, while Vancouver earned a 1-1 draw at LAFC despite Tristan Blackmon's early red card. Charlotte FC clinched a 3-2 come-from-behind win over Dallas with a 92nd-minute winner from Idan Toklomati, and Seattle dismantled New England 3-0 on the road.
