"Even without two DPs, the Sounders outplayed Inter Miami in the Leagues Cup final on Sunday. Ending the evening with a 3-0 win, Seattle's impressive depth was on full display. That Inter Miami have claimed just one knockout trophy since Lionel Messi arrived in 2023 must sting. They fell 3-0 to Seattle in Sunday's Leagues Cup final, starting slow and getting into a post-match scuffle in which forward Luis Suárez appeared to spit on a Seattle Sounders staffer."
"Previous ranking: 4 Cincinnati won't look back at their 1-0 loss to Philadelphia on Saturday as anything other than a missed opportunity. With sloppy possession, Pat Noonan's team saw their chance to lay claim to the East's top spot slip through their fingers. Previous ranking: 6 Owners of the league's longest win streak, Charlotte FC have won eight straight in league play, with their 2-1 victory over the Revolution extending that run. The most impressive part of Charlotte's stretch? They've won their last four without injured star playmaker Pep Biel."
Philadelphia Union clinched a playoff spot with a 1-0 win over Cincinnati, seizing control of the East's top seed. San Diego slipped one spot despite a 2-1 road win at LAFC, remaining a top contender for both the Supporters' Shield and MLS Cup thanks to Anders Dreyer and attacking depth. Seattle dominated Inter Miami 3-0 to win the Leagues Cup, showing depth even without two designated players. Inter Miami have only one knockout trophy since Lionel Messi arrived in 2023 and were involved in a post-match scuffle featuring Luis Suárez. Cincinnati squandered a chance for the East's top spot with sloppy possession. Charlotte FC extended an eight-game league winning streak and has won four straight without injured playmaker Pep Biel.
