MLS was back at it after the international break with all 28 teams playing in Matchweek Four. That gives us plenty of fodder for the fire that fuels MLS Monday, the weekly feature that covers one of North America’s two biggest leagues.
Top games from Matchweek Five
New England Revolution 0 - 1 New Jersey Red Bulls
A dumpster fire that lasted 90+ minutes, this game had everything you could wish for two of your favorite conference rivals: Red cards (one for each team), poor play, passes that should go straight to a blooper reel. The Red Bulls won thanks to a 90th-minute own-goal by Revolution holding midfielder Matt Polster. The next time you Google “win ugly” you’ll find links to this game.
Philadelphia Union 2 - 0 Charlotte FC
Philadelphia rolled over Charlotte to solidify their hold on first place with 13 points after five games, and to snap the expansion side’s two-game winning streak. Charlotte never had a chance. Philadelphia ceded possession but scored two (sound familiar?), for their fourth win in a row and their third consecutive shutout.
Minnesota United 1 - 2 Seattle Sounders
Seattle notched an impressive away win in Minneapolis, scoring two goals before giving away a penalty to Minnesota in the 80th minute. Seattle looks composed, collected, and dangerous.
Watch it over and over again.

Orlando City SC 2 - 4 LAFC
LAFC logged a convincing win on the road against Orlando to extend their so-far-invincible season by another game. LAFC and Philadelphia both have 13 points after five games, but Los Angeles has the advantage on goal differential: Thirteen goals scored, four allowed. LAFC next face Los Angeles Galaxy in El Traffico.
