Team highlights

Lionel Messi set yet another MLS record on Walmart Saturday Showdown, contributing 2g/1a in Inter Miami CF's 3-1 victory at Atlanta United to become the first player in league history to record at least 15 assists in three consecutive seasons. Bringing his league-leading production to 25g/15a, he is trending towards a historic Landon Donovan MLS MVP three-peat.

Fellow global superstar Antoine Griezmann similarly netted 2g/1a, including setting up club-record goalscorer Martín Ojeda for an AT&T Goal of the Year contender with an audacious scorpion kick finish as Orlando City smashed D.C. United, 4-1, to continue their undefeated record across all competitions when Griezmann etches his name on the scoresheet (9W-0L-1D).

The Columbus Crew pulled themselves within a point of a playoff spot with a crucial 2-0 Hell is Real triumph at rivals FC Cincinnati on Sunday Night Soccer presented by Continental Tire, courtesy of summer signing Gonzalo Tapia scoring and assisting for interim manager Laurent Courtois' side.

Israeli international forward Idan Tokolmati did the same for Charlotte FC, assisting The Crown's first and scoring their second in a 2-2 draw at the Philadelphia Union. Newly-minted US international Neil Pierre helped the hosts secure a point with the most defensive contributions in the match (18).

Meanwhile, Real Salt Lake kept their playoff hopes alive behind Morgan Guilavogui's brace, climbing within three points of the Western Conference's final Wild Card spot via a 3-1 win at Sporting Kansas City.

Houston Dynamo FC clinched their postseason berth in a 2-2 Texas Derby draw against rivals FC Dallas, with Mexican legend Héctor Herrera heading home from a corner kick.

By the same 2-2 scoreline, LA Galaxy drew SoCal neighbors San Diego FC with homegrown fullback Harbor Miller assisting to solidify the six-time champions' hold on a Wild Card spot.

Just ahead of LA in seventh, Seattle Sounders FC continued their second-half resurgence in a 1-1 draw against CF Montréal, highlighted by Yéimar Gómez Andrade providing lock-down play at center back.

Finally, the New England Revolution created a gap between themselves and Chicago Fire FC by downing the fellow playoff-bound side 1-0, shutting out their opponents behind six saves from USMNT goalkeeper Matt Turner.
