Vancouver WhiteCaps will try to strengthen the MLS ranking on Sunday, when they welcomed a Los Angeles FC side, trying to return to the debate after a slow start.
WhiteCaps (8-1-2, 26 points) was the story of MLS in 2025.
Vancouver won its first view in the 2025 Concacaf Champions Cup final with the semi -final series of Lionel Messi and Inter Miami last month. And in a remarkable way, WhiteCaps played both competitions in the best record in the league while balanced.
Director Jesper Sorensen’s side won league matches in a row and was not defeated at the last six in MLS.
WhiteCaps sent Real Salt Lake 2-1 on the goals of Jayden Nelson and Tristan Blackmon last Saturday. This arrived only three days after completing the Concacaf semi -final victory in Southern Florida.
Now Sorensen’s team hit the field after something rare: eight days between the matches.
“You’ll always take some break,” Soren said. “We’ve already played 19 games. So maybe it’s a good opportunity to do something in the field of education. But on the other hand … Yes, there’s acceleration. And you don’t want to smash it if you can avoid it.”
When the season started, LAFC (5-4-2, 17 points) was considered among the early MLS Cup favorites, and the side of the manager Steve Cherundolo can still reach this status.
However, the first league forms were inconsistent because they played in the Concacaf Champions Cup quarterfinals, which they lost to Miami.
The response to this exit was the last performance-Nathan Ordaz and Jeremy Ebobisse’s goals in Houston Dynamo against a four-game unreformed running running 2-0 home win. Portland and St. He hosted Louis.
“We started to play better with the ball and create more chances in Portland. He made some defense mistakes. St. Louis was even more the same.” He said. “And then I saw a more complete performance on both sides of the ball tonight and I was very pleased with our way of playing tonight.”
