In a league as young as MLS, history comes quite easily, and it certainly did on Matchday 9.
With no games scheduled for Sunday, every MLS club played within a few hours of each other on Saturday, giving fans a chaotic 15-match slate to consume all in one night, which ended with 40 goals scored across the league.
With the earliest kickoff of the day, Inter Miami CF defeated Columbus Crew SC 1–0 and became the last remaining undefeated team in 2025, while the nightcap saw eight-goal and six-goal thrillers in the Western Conference.
Now that the chaos has slowed down, Sports Illustrated dives into the MLS Power Rankings after Matchday 9. If you missed Matchday 8’s rankings, check that out too.
