MLS Power Rankings: Whitecaps Soar, Galaxy Sink After Matchday 11

Vancouver Keep Rolling

The Vancouver Whitecaps remain on top, riding a blistering 80-point pace after taking down RSL despite heavy squad rotation. Jesper Sørensen’s side shows no signs of slowing, even with eyes on a Champions Cup final.

Columbus Back to Business

The Crew’s 4-2 win over Charlotte was textbook Wilfried Nancy: possession dominance and fluidity up front. Charlotte had no answer for the trio of Diego Rossi, Jacen Russell-Rowe, and Aziel Jackson.

Miami Bounce Back Big

Javier Mascherano unleashed four attackers against the Red Bulls, and it paid off in a 4-1 win. After Champions Cup disappointment, this was the reset Inter Miami needed.

Philadelphia Quietly Climb

With their third straight win, the Union keep pace in the East. A 2-1 result over Montreal may not turn heads, but it adds points — and pressure on the Crew.

Seattle’s Statement Win

Injuries? No problem. The Sounders fired 29 shots in a 4-1 rout of St. Louis. Even without four starters, their depth is terrifying — and dangerous.

Charlotte Falter Without Biel

Saturday’s loss to Columbus exposed Charlotte’s thin margin for error without their midfield orchestrator. A trophy feels farther away today.

Nashville Show Stability

A 1-1 draw at Atlanta keeps B.J. Callaghan’s group trending solidly, even without Walker Zimmerman. The performance was clean, if unspectacular.

Cincinnati Out of Ideas

A 1-0 loss to NYCFC highlights their growing struggle in attack. One multi-goal win all season shows this team is still searching for rhythm.

San Diego Flex in Five-Goal Romp

A 5-0 destruction of Dallas brings San Diego back in form. Anders Dreyer led the charge, with Hirving Lozano adding flair and final-third bite.

Minnesota Strike Back

Julian Gressel debuted in a 3-0 win over Austin, where the Loons capitalized on mistakes and dominated the second half.

LAFC Lock Down Houston

A 2-0 win marked LAFC’s most dominant two-way performance of the season, holding Houston to just four shots while generating 2.0 xG.

Portland’s Defense Breaks Down

After a strong run, Portland got blasted 4-1 by San Jose. Their defense continues to be the weak link in Phil Neville’s squad.

Orlando’s Attack Vanishes

Four scoreless draws in five games — this time, against a 10-man Chicago — raise serious questions about the Lions’ offensive output.

Rapids Collapse Late

Colorado led early but conceded twice in first-half stoppage time in a 2-1 loss to D.C. United. Creation remains an issue.

Austin: Still Toothless

Minnesota didn’t need clear-cut chances to beat Austin 3-0. Lack of ideas, lack of finishing, and poor goalkeeping continue to haunt the hosts.

New England’s Steady Surge

Caleb Porter’s 3-4-1-2 system has the Revs flying. A 2-0 win over Toronto is their fifth win in six games.

Red Bulls Are Just Flat

No press, no spark, no creativity. NYRB were thumped 4-1 by Miami, looking like a team running out of identity.

NYCFC Have Cincy’s Number

They did it again — a 1-0 win over Cincinnati despite losing Keaton Parks early. Somehow, this team matches up well with the East’s elite.

San Jose Finds Its Right Side

A 4-1 rout of Portland, powered by new signing DeJuan Jones and Cristian Espinoza down the flank, shows real promise in attack.

Dallas Gets Dismantled

The back-three tweak that worked vs. Miami fell apart vs. San Diego. FCD were steamrolled 5-0. Eric Quill has decisions to make.

Chicago Left Wondering

After Chris Brady’s red card, the Fire’s promising start fizzled. They still held Orlando to a draw, but a win was there for the taking.

D.C. United Get Benteke Back

The Belgian striker’s headed goal helped D.C. steal a 2-1 win vs. Colorado. With Benteke healthy, this team has hope.

Houston Hit a Wall

A 2-0 loss to LAFC was worse than the score suggests. Only four shots and a late red card capped a brutal night.

RSL Still Searching

A 2-1 loss to Vancouver isn’t shameful, but the late Diego Luna penalty was the only real highlight. Agada’s second-half cameo gives hope.

Atlanta Can’t Get Going

Still no win in five, but they finally scored in a 1-1 draw vs. Nashville. This team badly needs attacking ideas — and points.

St. Louis Can’t Cope

Missing key players, St. Louis was dominated by Seattle. Their attack failed, and the defense folded early.

Toronto in Trouble

Zero fight, zero bite, zero danger. A 2-0 loss to the Revs leaves Toronto with just one win this year.

Sporting KC Make (Weird) History

No shots. No problem? SKC beat the Galaxy 1-0 — via a Maya Yoshida own goal — without registering a shot. First time ever.

Montreal Stay Winless

They had a chance against Philadelphia, but lost 2-1. Still stuck at the bottom. Still no sign of life.

Galaxy Find New Rock Bottom

They lost 1-0 to SKC without conceding a shot. That’s not a typo. That’s history — and not the good kind.
