It has taken three weeks, but we finally have some stability atop the Pro Soccer USA MLS Power Rankings.
Seattle Sounders FC, LAFC, D.C. United and the New York Red Bulls all remained in unchanged positions among the top four teams after positive results in Week 3. The Montreal Impact and expansion side FC Cincinnati made the biggest leaps, each moving up five spots following emphatic wins.
The Major League Soccer Power Rankings are created by averaging the rankings submitted by a committee of Pro Soccer USA’s editor and writers.
(1) Seattle Sounders FC (3-0-0, 9 points): The Sounders are the only team in MLS to have maximum points from their first three games, matching their best start since their inaugural MLS season after a 4-2 win over the Chicago Fire. (2) Los Angeles Football Club (2-0-1, 7 points): The Black-and-Gold dropped their first points of the season, but rallied twice from a pair of deficits to draw NYCFC 2-2 at Yankee Stadium. Carlos Vela struck for a brace. (3) D.C. United (2-0-1, 7 points): Wayne Rooney scored his first MLS hat trick and added an assist for good measure as D.C. United destroyed a Real Salt Lake team that ended the match with nine men. (4) New York Red Bulls (1-0-1, 4 points): The Red Bulls needed a second-half surge to knock off San Jose Saturday. Alex Muyl scored the first brace of his career and Danny Royer continued his impactful start to 2019, setting up both Muyl goals and scoring one of his own. (6) Columbus Crew SC (2-0-1, 7 points): Gaston Sauro scored — again! — as the Crew defeated FC Dallas 1-0 at MAPFRE to make it seven points out of nine for Caleb Porter. (5) Sporting Kansas City (1-1-1, 4 points): Johnny Russell came off the bench to provide the heroics, leveling late on a scorching free kick as Sporting earned a 1-1 draw at Colorado Sunday night. (10) Houston Dynamo (2-0-1, 7 points): Memo Rodriguez struck for a brace, including the 73rd-minute winner off a pass from Alberth Elis, who added a first-half penalty kick, in a 3-2 win over the Vancouver Whitecaps. (11) Atlanta United (0-1-2, 2 points): Ezequiel Barco headed in the late equalizer off another Julian Gressel assist as the Five Stripes rallied to tie the Philadelphia Union, 1-1, at Mercedes-Benz Stadium Sunday. (8) FC Dallas (1-1-1, 4 points): FC Dallas suffered their first loss of the Luchi Gonzalez-era, dropping a 1-0 decision to Columbus Crew SC, only forcing Zack Steffen into two saves. (12) Toronto FC (2-0-0, 6 points): Ayo Akinola had a goal and an assist and Jozy Altidore made his triumphant return with the game-winner off the bench in the 80th minute in a 3-2 win over the New England Revolution. (16) Montreal Impact (2-1-0, 6 points): Orji Okwonkwo and Ignacio Piatti scored one minute apart in the first half and Piatti added a second goal late in a convincing 3-1 win over Orlando City SC. (14) LA Galaxy (2-1-0, 6 points): Jonathan dos Santos and Chris Pontius scored four minutes apart late in the first half and Sebsastian Lletget added an 81st minute goal as the Galaxy defeated Minnesota United, 3-2, doing so without the injured Zlatan Ibrahimovic. (7) Minnesota United (2-1-0, 6 points): The Loons came back down to earth a bit after back-to-back wins to open the season. Jan Gregus and Angelo Rodriguez scored in the road defeat. (13) New York City FC (0-0-3, 3 points): Alexandru Mitrita scored his first MLS goal and Alex Ring netted his second of the season, but the Cityzens conceded a pair of equalizers and settled for a 2-2 draw against LAFC Sunday at Yankee Stadium. (20) FC Cincinnati (1-1-1 4 points): What a party at Nippert Stadium as 30,000-plus enjoyed a thorough 3-0 win over the Portland Timbers in FC Cincinnati’s first home match. Kendall Waston, Mathieu Deplagne and Allan Cruz scored for FCC. (9) Real Salt Lake (1-1-1, 4 points): It was a night to forget for RSL, which saw Jefferson Savarino and Marcelo Silva sent off en route to a 5-0 at D.C. United Saturday night. (17) Colorado Rapids (0-1-2, 2 points): Diego Rubio scored the game’s first goal in the 54th minute, but after substitute Axel Sjoberg was sent off for his second bookable offense, Russell scored two minutes from full time to level for Sporting. (15) Portland Timbers (0-2-1, 1 point): The Timbers are leaking goals at an alarming rate, conceding three more on Sunday for a total of 10 on the season following a 3-0 loss at FC Cincinnati Sunday. (22) Philadelphia Union (0-2-1, 1 point): The Union earned their first point of the season thanks to a goal by Brenden Aaronson, the 18-year-old Homegrown who was stellar on his debut. (18) Chicago Fire (0-2-1, 1 point): The Fire ended strong, with Raheem Edwards and Fabian Herbers scoring second-half goals, but they couldn’t climb out of a three-goal hole in a 4-2 loss to the Sounders. (19) Orlando City SC (0-1-2, 2 points): The Lions were punished for a pair of defensive mistakes early in a 3-1 loss to the Impact, their first defeat of the season. (21) Vancouver Whitecaps FC (0-3-0, 0 points): The ‘Caps suffered their third consecutive defeat, dropping a 3-2 decision to the Dynamo. Fredy Montero scored from the penalty spot and Lass Bangoura came off the bench to net an equalizer before Houston struck for the 73rd-minute equalizer. (23) New England Revolution (0-2-1, 1 point): Carles Gil has been a bright spot to a winless start to the 2019 season for the Revs. He has three goals on the season, including a brace in a 3-2 loss at Toronto Sunday night. (24) San Jose Earthquakes (0-3-0, 0 points): Cristian Espinoza scored his first MLS goal to give the Quakes the lead and if a second goal came during a strong first-half maybe things would have worked out differently. Instead, they suffered a 4-1 defeat at Red Bull Arena.Pro Soccer USA’s writers Dylan Butler, Julian Cardillo and Robert Jonas contributed to this report

Zlatan Ibrahimovic has revealed the quality of football in the Premier League was exactly as he expected it when he signed for Manchester United – over-rated. After leaving his native Sweden, Ibrahimovic played four seasons in the Netherlands’ Eredivisie, seven seasons in Italy’s Serie A, four seasons in France’s Ligue 1 and a year in Spain’s LaLiga, winning […]

The Colorado Rapids hosted a tired Sporting Kansas City side that entered the match on short rest Sunday night. After a dogged and goalless first half, former SKC forward Diego Rubio broke the deadlock with his goal in the 54th minute to give the hosts a 1-0 lead. But a late sending off for Rapids midfielder Johan Blomberg opened the door for the visitors and Johnny Russell’s strike on a free kick in the 88th minute salvaged a point for SKC in a 1-1 draw at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park.
Here are three takeaways from Colorado’s 1-1 draw with Sporting Kansas City:
Dillon’s defensive deftness
A natural midfielder by trade, Dillon Serna has been oft-played at wingback under Anthony Hudson, but last season was filled with mix results as the Rapids Homegrown was one of many failed experiments at right back.
With the experience of Keegan Rosenberry now filling that role, the questions shifted to what Colorado would do at left back entering the season. Now playing in that role, Serna has answered most of those questions, filling in admirably despite the team’s defensive injury crisis at centerback.
Defensively, Serna pitched in three tackles, four recoveries and three clearances – two of which were inside the 18-yard box. He also managed a shot across the face of goal in the 68th minute. It was an all-encompassing effort that garnered praise from Rapids head coach Anthony Hudson
“I thought Dillon Serna at left back was absolutely outstanding,” Hudson said postgame.
Seven minutes of hell for Johan Blomberg
Signed on to Colorado before last season, Johan Blomberg has failed to carve out a role or make a large impact since his arrival, which has surely been frustrating for the 31-year-old Swede.
That frustration boiled over on Sunday night as Blomberg earned a yellow card shortly after his substitution in the 79th minute for unsportsmanlike conduct and was sent off with a second yellow in the 87th minute for time wasting.
In a twist of irony, Blomberg pushed a shot which was inches away from doubling Colorado’s lead shortly after his substitution. Instead, his sending off led to Colorado being down to ten men for the remainder of the match, and set the stage for Johnny Russell’s free kick equalizer.
Anthony Hudson acknowledged the frustration of the situation postgame, but would not comment on the specifics of Blomberg, having not reviewed film. Nonetheless, it’s surely a frustrating situation for Blomberg, who was playing his first meaningful minutes since October of 2018.
A tale of two Tims
Tim Howard and Tim Melia have been the goalkeeping standard bearers for their respective clubs over the past several seasons, but ultimately, it was the two Tims’ gaffs which may have made the difference in this game.
Just before the half, Tim Howard averted danger when Roger Espinoza caught him off his line and was nearly chipped for the opening goal.
With the score remaining 0-0, it would instead be Melia’s gaff which opened the scoring. Lack of communication between Melia and Matt Besler led to Diego Rubio’s 54th minute goal to instead give Colorado the early lead.
In terms of volume, it wasn’t a lights out performance from either ‘keeper, but Howard put forth a solid performance with three saves to Melia’s one.
In the end, Diego Rubio has a former teammate to thank for his first goal in Burgundy.
“The goalie made a bad touch on the ball and I took the opportunity,” he said of the goal.

COMMERCE CITY, Colo. – On a brisk St. Patrick’s Day evening, the Colorado Rapids and Sporting Kansas City both found a stroke of luck with goals, but nothing separated them in a 1-1 draw at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park.
After taking a 1-0 lead on a second-half goal from Diego Rubio, Colorado dropped points, going down a man before SKC forward Johnny Russell scored late to earn a 1-1 draw for the visitors.
“It’s hard because it almost feels like a loss at the end,” Rapids head coach Anthony Hudson said postgame. “It’s feels like two points dropped.”
SKC came into the match on short rest having played a midweek CCL match against Panama’s Independiente. Sunday’s match also marked the sixth match in an 18-day span for the Peter Vermes-led side.
Early chances from Colorado put the visitors on the back foot, but SKC weathered the storm to keep the score level.
Kansas City’s best opportunity to take a first-half lead came in the 22nd minute when Felipe Gutierrez’s free kick from just outside the box went just wide of the mark. This led to a dangerous counterattack from the Rapids, but attempts from Nicolas Mezquida and Diego Rubio failed to hit the mark.
In the 43rd minute, Kansas City was presented with another golden opportunity as Rapids goalkeeper Tim Howard was drawn off his line by Krisztian Nemeth, who played it back to Roger Espinoza for a chipped opportunity. Colorado avoided danger however, as the effort was just above the crossbar.
As the two sides entered halftime deadlocked and scoreless, Colorado had outshot the visitors 6-4 while SKC has swung possession in their favor with 62.3 percent of the ball in the first half.
After some more back and forth play to open the second half, it was Colorado who would strike first blood. A mis-timed backpass from Matt Besler was unable to be collected at the feet of SKC ‘keeper Tim Melia, and an opportunistic Rubio collected the ball to bury the shot and put Colorado up 1-0 in the 54th minute.
“I’m so pleased because Diego has been working so hard,” Hudson said of the goal. “He earned it and is going to score a lot of goals for us.”
The Rapids’ gaffer credited Colorado’s constant high press for the goal.
“I thought we had many situations during the game from their goal kicks where they were kicking the ball to us or kicking it out of play,” he explained. “The hard thing is to keep doing it consistently.”
Things got chippy in the late stages as head referee Allen Chapman issued seven second half yellow cards between the sides including five for unsporting behavior. Rapids midfielder Johan Blomberg was amongst those booked, and with a second yellow for time wasting in the 87th minute, was sent off.
“He’s going to be disappointed, but these things happen,” Hudson said of Blomberg’s sendoff.
In the ensuing run of play, SKC forward Johnny Russell equalized for the visitors, burying a free kick to level the match at 1-1 a minute later.
Despite dropping points at home, Hudson saw a lot of positives from his side.
“We cannot take away from the performance the players put in today,” he said. “[SKC] are a fantastic team, but for me, for 90-plus minutes we’d been the better team. We played tonight as a team. The players fought for each other. We were brave, we were positive, we were aggressive.”
Sunday’s result marked the second-straight road point at Colorado for the visitors in as many visits to Commerce City. Having weathered a heavy portion of its schedule, SKC will now have two weeks of preparation before it faces Montreal at home March 30. Colorado will travel to Frisco, Texas next Saturday to face Western Conference rivals FC Dallas.

Two weeks are in the books in the 2019 Major League Soccer season and already we have a new No. 1 team atop the Pro Soccer USA Power Rankings.
Coming off a second win at CenturyLink Field, an impressive 2-0 victory over the Colorado Rapids, the Seattle Sounders jump to the No. 1 spot, while D.C. United, the previous No. 1, falls two spots after a 0-0 draw against New York City FC at Yankee Stadium and LAFC moves into No. 2 after a 4-1 win over the Portland Timbers.
The Major League Soccer Power Rankings are created by averaging the rankings submitted by a committee of Pro Soccer USA’s editor and writers.
(2) Seattle Sounders FC (2-0-0, 6 points): Kelvin Leerdam and Raul Ruidiaz scored three minutes apart inside the opening 10 minutes to lift the Sounders to a 2-0 win over the Colorado Rapids. Seattle are 2-0 at home, but now they head to the road to meet the Fire. (3) LAFC (2-0-0, 6 points): Carlos Vela was a one-man wrecking crew with a goal and three assists, while Mark-Anthony Kaye, Christian Ramirez and Adama Diomande added goals in a comprehensive win over the Timbers. (1) D.C. United (1-0-1, 4 points): Bill Hamid stood on his head in a virtuoso performance, earning a second consecutive clean sheet in a 0-0 draw against New York City FC at Yankee Stadium. (4) New York Red Bulls (0-0-1, 1 point): The Red Bulls were idle in Week 2 of the MLS regular season as they turned their singular focus on overturning a 2-0 deficit to Santos Laguna in the first leg of the Concacaf Champions League quarterfinals. (7) Sporting Kansas City (1-1-0, 3 points): It was all about the penalty spot for Sporting on Sunday, which took an early lead on a converted PK from Ilie Sanchez, while Tim Melia made his eighth all-time save on MLS penalty kicks in a 2-0 win over the Philadelphia Union. (13) Columbus Crew SC (1-0-1, 4 points): Gyasi Zardes struck for a brace and Zack Steffen made a penalty-kick save to lift Crew SC to a 2-0 road win over the New England Revolution. (14) Minnesota United (2-0-0, 6 points): Here come the Loons! Adrian Heath is pumped up about the offseason additions, especially the defensive reinforcements, as Minnesota claimed maximum points from their first two games after defeating the San Jose Earthquakes, 3-0. (12) FC Dallas (1-0-1, 4 points): Filling in for an injured Jacori Hayes, Paxton Pomykal was a dual-winning beast in the midfield, while Reto Ziegler and Bryan Acosta struck in the second half in a 2-0 win over the LA Galaxy. (16) Real Salt Lake (1-0-1, 4 points): Albert Rusnak scored he lone goal from the penalty spot and Everton Ruiz was solid in defensive midfield in a 1-0 win over the Vancouver Whitecaps. (10) Houston Dynamo (1-0-1, 4 points): Mauro Manotas provided more late magic, scoring the winner in a 2-1 victory over the visiting Montreal Impact. It was the Colombian’s fourth goal in five games in all competitions in 2019. (8) Atlanta United (0-1-1, 1 point): When Josef Martinez scored in the fifth minute, it appeared Atlanta would cruise, but Roland Lamah netted the late equalizer for expansion side FC Cincinnati resulting in calls for patience by new coach Frank de Boer. (11) Toronto FC (1-0-0, 3 points): The Reds didn’t play in Week 2, but they made news with the signing of designate player Alejandro Pozuelo. (15) New York City FC (0-0-2, 2 points): There’s been talk of attacking help on the way, but in the meantime the Cityzens drew D.C. United, 0-0, in their home opener Sunday. A team with a bevy of attacking options, LAFC, comes to town in Week 3. (6) LA Galaxy (1-1-0, 3 points): Diego Polenta continues to struggle in his acclimation to a new team and a new league and the Galaxy attack sorely missed an injured Zlatan Ibrahimovic in a 2-0 loss at FC Dallas. (5) Portland Timbers (0-1-1, 1 point): The good news for the Timbers was an equalizer by Jeremy Ebobisse. The bad news was three goals without response from LAFC, which won 4-1 at Banc of California Stadium. (9) Montreal Impact (1-1-0, 3 points): Saphir Taider scored for his second consecutive game and the Impact looked like they’d secure another important road point. But Manotas netted the winner for the Dynamo four minutes from full time. (17) Colorado Rapids (0-1-1, 1 point): The Rapids played well and had chances throughout, but they couldn’t overturn a two-goal deficit in the opening eight minutes and fell in Seattle. (18) Chicago Fire (0-1-1, 1 point): The well-traveled CJ Sapong came up with a late equalizer for the Fire, his first goal for his newest club, in a 1-1 draw against Orlando City SC. (19) Orlando City SC (0-0-2, 2 points): A week after rallying from a deficit to earn a draw against NYCFC, the Lions squandered a lead earned on Dom Dwyer’s goal two minutes into the second half to concede in second-half stoppage time. (24) FC Cincinnati (0-1-1, 1 point): Leonardo Bertone might have scored the first goal for FCC, but Roland Lamah’s goal at Mercedes Benz Stadium is even more important because it secured the expansion side’s first point, a 1-1 draw with defending MLS Cup champion Atlanta United. (22) Vancouver Whitecaps (0-2-0, 0 points): The ‘Caps were hard done by a controversial penalty decision and fell to RSL, 1-0. But they looked more in sync at Rio Tinto Stadium and Hwang In-Beom was arguably the best player on the pitch for either team. (20) Philadelphia Union (0-2-0, 0 points): The Union saw designated player Marco Fabian sent off after missing from the penalty spot and Jack Elliott score an own goal in a 2-0 loss to Sporting Kansas City. (21) New England Revolution (0-1-1, 1 point): Diego Fagundez had his potential equalizing penalty kick swatted away by Zack Steffen as the Revs fell to the Crew, 2-0, in their home opener at Gillette Stadium. (23) San Jose Earthquakes (0-2-0, 0 points): The Quakes continue to get acclimated to new coach Matias Almeyda, but that’s not translated to wins yet as San Jose fell to 0-2-0 on the season after a 3-0 loss to Minnesota United at Avaya Stadium.Pro Soccer USA’s writers Dylan Butler, Julian Cardillo, Robert Jonas, Emily Olsen and Joe Tansey contributed to this report.
