Who's hot, who's not? GOAL ranks all 30 teams across Major League Soccer
Matchday 11 of the 2025 MLS campaign played out as expected, for the most part. Of the 15 matches, only three results surprised, as the hierarchies in the league take shape.
Bruce Arena and the San Jose Earthquakes put four goals past the in-form Portland Timbers, while FC Cincinnati were upset 1-0 by NYCFC – and with the loss, fell off the top spot in the Eastern Conference. They now sit third behind both the Columbus Crew and the Philadelphia Union, who secured wins.
Upon his return to the XI, Christian Benteke led D.C. United to a thrilling 2-1 victory over the Colorado Rapids, another surprise result.
Elsewhere, Inter Miami cruised to a 4-1 victory over the New York Red Bulls, with both Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez scoring, while San Diego FC stomped FC Dallas 5-0. The Seattle Sounders, meanwhile, put four goals past St. Louis CITY SC for their third win in the last four matches. And Caleb Porter's New England Revolution defeated Toronto FC 2-0, marking the Revs' fourth straight win.
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
Result: Lost 2-1 to Philadelphia Union
Ramifications: They scored a goal, and right now, that's progress. Another loss, though. Just zero confidence, momentum, identity – the list goes on.
Advertisement29Los Angeles Galaxy
Prior Ranking: 29
Result: Lost 1-0 to Sporting Kansas City
Ramifications: LA made even more history on Matchday 11 – and not in a good way. They became the first team to lose without conceding a single shot attempt from the opposition. That's right, Sporting didn't take a single shot, and still won.
Shout-out to own-goal, a real hero this MLS campaign.
Another loss, and it's becoming dire at this point. The defending MLS Cup champions are still winless in 11 matches. Greg Vanney's seat has to be warm. More worrying, though, both Gabriel Pec and Joseph Paintsil were subbed off the pitch Sunday with what appeared to be injuries. If their DP duo are hurt in any capacity, this stretch will only get worse.
28Atlanta United
Prior Ranking: 28
Result: Drew Nashville SC 1-1
Ramifications: Atlanta were at home, and they bunkered for the final 70 minutes of the match after scoring 20 minutes in. Why? Zero idea what Ronny Deila was doing. During the first 20 minutes of the match, the hosts had 59 percent possession, and led 1-0. The final 70? They had just 31 percent. Just a complete mess.
27Toronto FC
Prior Ranking: 24
Result: Lost to New England 2-0
Ramifications: Woof. Blanked at home, and outclassed in every sense throughout the match. Their second straight loss, and they're still at just one win on the season – it's not good enough from anyone.
