Regularni dio sezone američkog MLS-a približava se kraju. U tijeku je pretposljednje kolo, a momčadi se bore za mjesta u play-offu. Svoje mjesto osigurao je DC United koji je na krilima Waynea Rooneya s 3:1 svladao „susjedni“ New York City, filijalu Manchester Cityja.
Rooney je zabio dva pogotka, prvi u 8., a drugi iz penala u 74. za 3:0. Počasni pogodak za goste, koji su već izborili play-off, zabilo je također legendarni David Villa.

Atlanta United i NY Red Bulls pobijedili su u međusobnoj borbi za prvo mjesto Istočne konferencije, ujedno i regularnog dijela lige te najbolje startne pozicije u doigravanje. I dalje vodeća Atlanta svladala je na domaćem terenu Chicago Fire s 2:1, a NY RB je u gostima pobijedio Philadelphiju Unionse 1:0.
Montreal Inpact je u državnom derbiju svladao prvaka i ostao u igri za play-off, a branitelj naslova Toronto FC je već dugo bez šanse za doigravanje.
U 23 sata počinju utakmice zapadne konferencije, a najzanimljivija je ona između Minnesote i LA Galaxyja koji mora pobijediti kako bi dohvatio doigravanje.

Atlanta United – Chicago Fire 2:1
DC United – NY City 3:1
Montreal Impact – Toronto FC 2:0
Orlando City – Columbus Crew 1:1
