Team Highlights

LAFC’s dynamic duo stole the show in a 6-0 rout of Orlando City. South Korean superstar Son Heung-Min became the second player in MLS history to record four assists in a half and repeatedly set up Denis Bouanga, who completed the third-fastest hat trick in league history.

Bouanga added an assist to match Son’s four first-half goal contributions. Head coach Marc Dos Santos’ side is now atop the Supporters’ Shield standings with an MLS-record sixth consecutive clean sheet to start the season.

The New England Revolution remained perfect at home this season with a 3-0 victory over CF Montréal, courtesy of Luca Langoni scoring and assisting Mamadou Fofana from a free kick.

Columbus Crew forward Wessam Abou Ali continued his torrid form, netting a brace in a 3-1 win at Atlanta United that snapped his side’s season-opening skid.

Niko Tsakiris bagged a brace of his own to lead the San Jose Earthquakes to a 3-0 win over San Diego FC, stepping up amid Timo Werner‘s injury.

Meanwhile, fellow US youth international star Zavier Gozo guided Real Salt Lake to a 3-1 win over visiting Sporting Kansas City, providing two assists before adding the cherry on top with a stunning volley from the edge of the box.

Fresh off the USMNT‘s March camp, Sebastian Berhalter scored a stoppage-time winner with essentially the last kick of the game to give Vancouver Whitecaps FC a 3-2 triumph over Cascadian rivals Portland Timbers.

Several other defenders got in on the goalscoring action: Anthony Markanich ignited Minnesota United FC’s 2-1 victory at the LA Galaxy, and Osaze Urhoghide headed home FC Dallas‘ third goal in a 4-0 win at D.C. United.

Finally, Chris Brady locked up Chicago Fire FC’s impressive 1-0 victory over Eastern Conference-leading Nashville SC with four saves, including world-class stops from short and long range.
