Who's hot, who's not? GOAL ranks all 30 teams across Major League Soccer
The Philadelphia Union are officially putting pressure on the Vancouver Whitecaps. Bradley Carnell's men secured a stoppage-time victory against Charlotte FC over the weekend, while the Canadian outfit fell to the Columbus Crew in an Eastern Conference clash.
Philly is back at the top of the Supporters' Shield, with a two-point lead over the Whitecaps – though Vancouver has a game in hand.
Matchday 19 of the MLS campaign featured some big performances, highlighted by the Eastern Conference lighting up. All top-five teams in the conference all secured big wins, highlighting just how competitive this is becoming just over midway through the season.
In the West, San Diego FC defeated MNUFC in a battle between No. 2 and 3, while Austin FC came from behind to knock off RBNY as they crept into the final playoff spot.
With the Gold Cup break now on the way, teams will have a brief period to rest up and get healthy before games restart in 10 days.
Who's leading the pack, and who's falling short of expectations? GOAL presents the latest 2025 MLS Power Rankings.

Imagn30CF Montreal
Prior Ranking: 30
Results: Defeated Houston Dynamo 3-1
Ramifications: Huge performance and a much-needed win for the Canadian side. In their first victory across all competitions in their last six games, they were completely dominant, with Prince Owusu and Jalen Neal getting the goals.
They're still last in the East, but this was a big performance.

Prior Ranking: 28
Results: Drew CITY 3-3
Ramifications: This was Gabriel Pec's best performance of the season, as the 2024 MLS Newcomer of the Year bagged a brace, including what he thought was a late winner. But the theme of poor defending once again took over. LA had three points on the cards, but conceded a 95th-minute equalizer.
Has to be frustrating for Pec, though, who carried them throughout the match.
28St. Louis CITY SC
Prior Ranking: 29
Result: Drew LA 3-3
Ramifications: Joao Klauss's hat-trick secured a point in a match in which they arguably deserved nothing – so, in that context, this is a good result for CITY. The Brazilian forward found the back of the net in the 35th, 47th, and 95th minutes, bringing his 2025 goal total to five.
It hasn't been the best of campaigns for him, but this was a brilliant performance from the veteran forward. For CITY, though, they're still 14th in the West and without a permanent head coach.
27Toronto FC
Prior Ranking: 27
Result: Did not play
Ramifications: Remain 14th in the East on 13 points through 17 matches
