The 2025 MLS season is in full swing, and the competition is heating up. Here’s a breakdown of the latest MLS Power Rankings, highlighting the teams that are soaring and those that are struggling.

1. Philadelphia Union

Despite a late equalizer from Deandre Kerr, the Union managed to hold onto their top spot with a 1-1 draw against Toronto. Their rivals’ slip-ups this weekend further solidified their position.

2. San Diego FC

San Diego continues to impress, climbing to No. 2 in the rankings. Hirving Lozano and Anders Dreyer were instrumental in their 2-0 victory over Kansas City. Lozano’s stunning long-range goal in the 23rd minute set the tone for the match.

3. Inter Miami CF

Life without Lionel Messi has been challenging for Inter Miami. A 4-1 defeat to Orlando in the Clásico del Sol exposed their lack of attacking depth and defensive vulnerabilities.

4. FC Cincinnati

Cincinnati fell 1-0 to Charlotte despite a creative performance from Evander. The return of Kévin Denkey from injury could be a game-changer for the team.

5. Seattle Sounders

The Sounders dominated the Galaxy with a 4-0 victory, thanks to a Danny Musovski double and a solid defensive display. Seattle remains unbeaten since their Club World Cup campaign.

Key Takeaways:

• San Diego FC is emerging as a powerhouse, with Lozano leading the charge.
• Philadelphia Union maintains its dominance despite a tough draw.
• Inter Miami struggles without Messi, raising questions about their depth.
