MLS News

El Trafico may have been the game of the weekend, but the Philadelphia Union are the team to beat according to ESPN's MLS Power Rankings.

From El Clásico to Manchester Derby, here are some of the most notable men's rivalries in soccer around the world.

Playing with a man advantage in the closing minutes, Maya Yoshida scored on a header just before the final whistle as the Los Angeles Galaxy forged a 3-3 tie with host Los Angeles FC in the El Trafico rivalry.

FC Cincinnati forward Luca Orellano's left-footed shot from outside the box sailed just inside the right side of the goal in the 87th minute, which proved to be the match-winner in a 1-0 win over host Real Salt Lake in Sandy, Utah, on Saturday night.

Danny Musovski came off the bench and tallied twice and Pedro de la Vega had a goal and an assist as the Seattle Sounders defeated the visiting San Jose Earthquakes 3-2 on Saturday night in a Western Conference matchup.
