MLS
Chart of the Day
Columbus Crew finished the regular season 12th in MLS by points per game, but The Precedent ranks the Crew 17th, the widest gap in the league. Four of the 10 teams on the chart sit higher in the Rating than their record would put them, Minnesota United FC and New York City FC among them, because of the records of the teams they played.
The regular season is over, and the playoff line in the West was settled in Salt Lake City. Real Salt Lake beat LA Galaxy 2-1, with both of its goals in the first half, to finish ninth on 45 points. Minnesota United FC came back from a goal down to beat San Jose 3-1 but finished one point short, level with the Galaxy on 44. The Galaxy fell from 14th to 20th in The Precedent Rating.
Charlotte FC was three goals down at the break in Miami and scored all three back after halftime for a 3-3 draw with Inter Miami CF. Vancouver beat CF Montréal 2-0 and moved past Inter Miami into second in the Rating. Columbus came from behind in the second half to beat Chicago 4-3 for its fifth straight win. Orlando City beat New England 1-0 on a first-half goal and finished eighth in the East, level on points with Cincinnati.
