Who's hot, who's not? GOAL ranks all 30 teams across Major League Soccer
There were goals galore in Matchday 12, with some astonishing results, as well.
Inter Miami, without Luis Suarez, were battered, fried, and served lakeside at a bar by Minnesota United, with the winning 4-1 at home in St. Paul. In a rematch of MLS Cup 2024, the LA Galaxy went to Sports Illustrated Arena this time only to get smacked into the ground by the New York Red Bulls – and then some – by Emil Forsberg and Co. 7-0.
In other matches, Columbus and Philadelphia, the two top teams in the East, played to a 2-2 draw, while in the West, LAFC and Vancouver ended with the same scoreline. Gregg Berhalter's Chicago Fire earned their first win since March, while CF Montreal gained their first three points of the season as well.
There was a big shift from top to bottom this week, and a few interesting trends are emerging.
Who's leading the pack, and who's falling short of expectations? GOAL presents the latest 2025 MLS Power Rankings.

Imagn30Los Angeles Galaxy
Prior Ranking: 29
Result: Lost 7-0 to RBNY
Ramifications: What do you even say? It's astonishing how bad things are right now. This was – for a lack of better words – pathetic. What next? The clock is ticking on embattled manager Greg Vanney.

Prior Ranking: 30
Result: Lost 2-1 to Philadelphia Union
Ramifications: Sound the klaxon, Montreal won a game! They're first three points of the season, CF MTL blanked the 1-0 on the road at Yankee Stadium with Prince Owusu scoring the lone goal.
28Atlanta United
Prior Ranking: 28
Result: Lost to Chicago 2-1
Ramifications: It's just tragic soccer right now. You can only beat the drum so many times. There was $40 million spent for a return that's pennies at the moment. Ronny Deila sounded off on his players postgame.
“I’m tired of hearing about all the talent we have. That’s been said over a long time – before my time also," he said. "Talent is not enough. We need unity and a hardworking mentality… and it can’t be in periods, it must be consistent.”
27St. Louis CITY SC
Prior Ranking: 26
Result: Lost to San Diego FC 2-1
Ramifications: Earned a late goal back in stoppage time, but they were on the wrong end of the ball all game long. Their attack is just so stagnant at the moment – manager Olof Mellberg has tried a few different things, but there is just a severe lack of creativity in the final third from CITY.
CITY have gone eight league games without a win.
