St. Louis CITY's historic tear, Inter Miami's rebound & more from Matchday 29

St. Louis CITY SC delivered a historic 6-2 victory over the LA Galaxy at Energizer Park, marking their 20th consecutive win across all competitions. The impressive streak ties the league record held by Red Bull New York in 2026. St. Louis CITY SC now sits atop the Western Conference, with a chance to claim first place after a win against the Whitecaps next week, and a US Open Cup final clash with Columbus on the horizon.

Inter Miami CF turned their recent slump around with a 4-0 win over D.C. United, thanks to a brace from Lionel Messi and two goals from Luis Suárez. If this is a sign that Messi is flipping the 'playoffs mode' switch, fans can expect an exciting remainder to the season.

Orlando City and Columbus Crew put on an instant classic at Inter.co Stadium, with six expected goals and 17 combined saves. Iván Angulo's goal in the 89th minute secured a 2-1 win for Orlando City. The game's highlight was Antoine Griezmann's high school football photo, shared by teammate Harvey Sarajian, which led to Sarajian scoring the Lions' first goal just a minute later.

Red Bull New York's Julian Hall continued his impressive form with three goals in his first three US men's national team caps, and RBNY secured a 4-1 win over San Diego FC. The win has bolstered their position in the playoff race, and a midweek victory against D.C. United could further strengthen their standing. Philadelphia Union kept their flying start alive with a 2-1 win over Real Salt Lake, showcasing their second-assist prowess.
