Orlando City SC take their league-leading five-match winning streak back home to take on a Real Salt Lake squad that hasn’t put any streak together — wins, losses or draws — through their first eight games.
The surging Lions are coming off a come-from-behind victory over the Colorado Rapids last week, while RSL suffered a 2-0 loss to Vancouver Whitecaps FC last Friday.
Orlando is unbeaten in three matches against Real Salt Lake (1W-2D), scoring at least once in all of them, per Opta.

Orlando City SC

Despite trailing at halftime, Orlando (5-2-1) rallied to beat the Rapids 2-1 Sunday in Commerce City. Cristian Higuita leveled in the 52nd minute and Yoshi Yotun, who was named to the MLS Team of the Week presented by Audi for Week 9, put the Lions ahead in the 77th minute from the penalty spot.
It is the fourth one-goal victory of this five-game winning streak for Orlando City SC, and the third time they’ve won after conceding first.
“For me it’s a continued reminder to ourselves about who we are,” Jason Kreis said. “We didn’t feel overly bad about ourselves in the first three matches, I know there were a lot of people who did, but in our locker room we didn’t. And now we don’t feel overly good about ourselves and there probably are a few people out there who may think more of us than we do. We know who we are. Our feet are on the ground, we’re humble, we’re hungry and we know that we need to improve.”

This is tied for the longest winning streak in franchise history (Sept. 13-Oct. 16, 2015).

Real Salt Lake

Mike Petke made two changes to his starting XI from a 3-0 win over the Colorado Rapids, bringing on 19-year-old Pablo Ruiz at left back and Corey Baird replacing Luis Silva up top.
For the third time this season, Real Salt Lake (3-4-1) suffered defeat following a win, dropping a 2-0 decision to the Vancouver Whitecaps at BC Place Friday night. There were positive signs despite defeat, but Petke said his club wasn’t clinical enough in the final third.
“I was very pleased with our patience, with our quick play, but again we have nothing to show for it at the end of the day,” Petke said. “It’s one of those things where I think we took some pretty good strides forward, but now we have to figure out the other part of it, which is getting behind defenses.”

The San Jose Earthquakes return to Avaya Stadium looking to replicate their success in Week 1when they beat Minnesota United FC for their lone victory of the season.
San Jose have lost two straight and are winless in six following a 2-1 defeat to Columbus Crew SC last Saturday.
The Portland Timbers have enjoyed home cooking to win back-to-back games, but following a bye week they return to the road where they are 0-3-2 on the season.
San Jose have lost one home match against Portland in MLS play (4W-4D), conceding multiple goals just twice in that time, per Opta.

San Jose Earthquakes

For the second straight road match against an Eastern Conference opponent, San Jose (1-4-2) suffered a one-goal loss, falling to Crew SC, 2-1, at MAPFRE Stadium Saturday night.
Danny Hoesen scored the Quakes' lone goal, his first since an opening-weekend brace, just before the stroke of halftime, but Mike Grella came off the substitute’s bench to score the decisive goal six minutes from full time as the Quakes returned to northern California empty-handed from back-to-back games away from home.
“We have to continue with the same concepts in general, but we are playing a new opponent with different strengths next week,” San Jose coach Mikael Stahre said. “Now we will be playing at home after two tough away games against Orlando and Columbus in which we got two defeats. That is hard for the moment, but we have a great group of guys and a great mentality so hopefully we can work harder together and hopefully win really soon.”

  • Notes: Hoesen has seven goals and assists in this last eight appearances for the Earthquakes. He had eight in his first 31 games with the team. … The Earthquakes enter on a six-game winless run (4L-2D). They have not gone seven consecutive MLS games without a win since Aug. 19-Sept. 28, 2016.

Portland Timbers

The bye week might have come at the worst possible moment for Portland (2-3-2), which handed NYCFC their lone defeat of the season, 3-0, at Providence Park two weeks ago. It was the Timbers' second straight win — both at home.
But that win, as satisfying as it was, is behind Portland. The focus is avoiding a trap against a struggling, but hungry, San Jose side.
“It’s important to understand that the New York City game is part of the past,” Timbers coach Giovanni Savarese said “It’s gone. Now, we have to be able to practice in a very professional way, being strong mentally, preparing ourselves the best possible way to understand that we’re going to play against a team that is difficult; a team that has some interesting players; a team that hasn’t been lucky in some games; a team that is desperate in looking for that win after so many matches.”

After their seven-match unbeaten streak came to an end following a 1-0 loss to the New England RevolutionSporting Kansas City are hoping to avoid a first losing streak of the year against a Colorado Rapids team that has dropped two straight games, including a 2-1 result at home to Orlando City SC.
Six of the last eight meetings between the two clubs have ended in Colorado victories, along with one Sporting victory and one draw. Their 2-2 draw on March 28 was the first time both times have scored multiple goals in the same match since 2014.

Sporting Kansas City   

Sporting (5-2-2) went to Gillette Stadium as one of the hottest teams in MLS and left, like many opponents do, with an unbeaten streak snapped. It was just the second time this season SKC failed to score a goal — the other was a season-opening 2-0 loss to NYCFC.
Sporting remain atop the Western Conference standings with 17 points, two points clear of surging LAFC, but Peter Vermes wasn’t very happy about the result and didn’t find the match very aesthetically pleasing.
“I think it wasn’t a good game. I don’t think it was a good game to watch. It was like car crashes all over the field,” he said after the game. “At some point, I thought I was maybe watching a tennis match a little bit because the ball was in the air so much. I don’t think it was a good game from that perspective, but I don’t think any team really did anything to warrant three points. At the end, of the day it’s probably a 0-0 game and that’s probably where it would have ended off.”

  • NotesJohnny Russell is one of three players that have scored multiple goals this season with both his left and right foot. … Sporting are unbeaten in their last four home matches (3W-1D), outscoring opponents 12-4 in that time.

Colorado Rapids

Colorado (2-3-2) raced out to an early lead on Dominique Badji’s fifth goal of the season, but the Rapids conceded twice after halftime as Cristian Higuita and Yoshi Yotun (penalty kick) helped lift red-hot Orlando City to their fifth straight win.
Now, Colorado have to prepare for another difficult opponent that cooled off slightly in Foxborough last weekend in the cauldron that is Children's Mercy Park. 
“It’s a massive test for us because there are such a good team,” Colorado coach Anthony Hudson said of Sporting Kansas City. “I think what we’re finding is that in all the games now is that we’re in every game … We are working very hard to create a mentality here.”

Maybe the LA Galaxy are better off away from StubHub Center, where they’ve lost three consecutive games, including a 3-2 defeat to the New York Red Bulls Saturday night.
And BBVA Compass Stadium hasn’t exactly been the fortress it was in years past for the Houston Dynamo, who are 2-2-0 at home and are coming off a 2-1 loss to Minnesota United FCon the road Saturday.
The Galaxy have lost just one of their last eight matches against Houston (4W-3D). A total of 10 goals have been scored in the last two matches between the two sides, per Opta.

Houston Dynamo   

It was an ideal start for Houston (2-3-2) with Alberth Elis scoring his fourth goal of the season in the 10th minute. But Darwin Quintero leveled from the penalty spot and then Ibson scored the eventual winner with 20 minutes remaining as the Dynamo fell to the Loons at TCF Bank Stadium.
Wilmer Cabrera made one change to his starting XI from the squad that defeated reserve-heavy Toronto FC, 5-1, the previous week with Oscar Boniek Garcia replacing Eric Alexander in the midfield.
“I’m disappointed because we came over here with the idea of winning the three points,” Cabrera said after the game. “We played well, but they had three attacks and scored two goals on us.  … We gave up two goals with two crosses. That’s concentration. We work on that. That’s something we need to fix because that’s not acceptable because we have experienced guys.”

  • Notes: Elis’ goal in Minnesota last weekend was just his third career road goal in league play. Eleven of his 14 career goals have come at BBVA Compass Stadium. … The Dynamo’s 5-1 victory over Toronto on April 21 is tied for the most goals scored in a MLS home match in team history, as well as tied for the second-largest margin of victory at home.

LA Galaxy

The LA Galaxy (3-4-1) dropped a third straight game at StubHub Center, falling to the Red Bulls, 3-2, Saturday night. The positive for the Galaxy is they rallied from a 2-0 deficit to tie on goals by Ola Kamara and Giovani dos Santos and a new-look 4-3-3 formation.
But the Galaxy were left to rue conceding another early goal with Danny Royer netting his first goal of the season in the seventh minute. A week ago, LA fell behind in the 22nd minute en route to a 2-0 loss to Atlanta United in Carson.
“Like I said last time, if you chase the goal, you play different,” Zlatan Ibrahimovic said. “Today we played much different because we changed the tactic. I think it was working better, we were more solid today. But still, you losing the game after six minutes is not okay. To receive a goal so fast, chase that, and the second half starts and you concede another goal fast, you are still chasing.”

The Chicago Fire won at Red Bull Arena and rallied for a 2-2 tie at BMO Field against Toronto FC. Now comes the ultimate test as they take on a red-hot Atlanta United team that is unbeaten in seven straight.
The Five Stripes also rallied in Week 9, from an early deficit, to score four unanswered goals in a 4-1 win over the Montreal Impact Saturday afternoon.
This will be the third league meeting between the two clubs. The home team won both matches last season – a 4-0 win for Atlanta and a 2-0 win for Chicago, per Opta.

Chicago Fire   

It didn’t start out the way they wanted as Chicago (2-3-2) fell in a two-goal hole early in the first half. But the Fire rallied late — very late — with Alan Gordon scoring the dramatic equalizer deep into second-half stoppage time after Bastian Schweinsteiger pulled the visitors within a goal in the 69th minute.
That means Chicago, which opened the season with consecutive losses, have earned points in four of their last five games and secured four points from a pair of road games at two of the league’s toughest venues for visitors.
“We have a great opponent in Atlanta, it’s one of the best teams and another hard week for us, hard challenge and test for this group,” Fire coach Veljko Paunovic said after the match. “But this group is growing, this group is getting better, it’s building getting points and good results and capable of playing two away games against two very difficult [teams].”

However, they have won just once in their last four games at Toyota Park (2L-1D).

Atlanta United

Miguel Almiron might be one of the best players in MLS, but he’s not the best taker of free kicks on his own team. That honor goes to Kevin Kratz, who struck for a pair of golazos in the second half and Almiron struck twice as Atlanta United (6-1-1) rallied from an early 1-0 deficit to cruise to a 4-1 win over the Montreal Impact Saturday afternoon.
Almiron was named to the MLS Team of the Week presented by Audi for Week 9 and was voted the Alcatel MLS Player of the Week by the North American Soccer Reporters (NASR).
“It was a difficult game against a difficult opponent,” said Almiron. "They complicated things for us in the first half with a quick goal. They really closed down things for us in the first half. It was difficult for us to break through, but luckily in the second half, we were able to do it.”

Columbus Crew SC head to Seattle feeling a little better about themselves after a 2-1 win over the San Jose Earthquakes that snapped a four-match winless streak, while the Sounders return home feeling hard done following a 1-0 loss to LAFC.
The Crew have won three of their last four meetings with the Sounders in league play, scoring multiple goals in all three victories while getting shut out in their one loss, per Opta.

Seattle Sounders FC

Seattle (1-4-1) were hoping to be party poopers at Banc of California Stadium; instead they suffered a second 1-0 defeat this season to LAFC with Laurent Ciman scoring the game’s lone goal on a stoppage-time free kick that went in off of Stefan Frei’s hands, a rare gaffe for one of MLS’ top goalkeepers.
Brian Schmetzer was forced to make four changes to his starting XI following a 3-1 win over Minnesota United FC because of injuries to regular starting central defenders Roman Torresand Chad MarshallGustav Svensson partnered with Kim Kee-Hee with Alex Roldan slotting in for Svensson in the midfield and Clint Dempsey returning to the starting XI.
“The effort was there; if the team plays with that effort, we’re going to win more games than we lose,” Schmetzer said after the game. “That’s without question. We just have to make sure that we collect points.”

Columbus Crew SC

It seemed their winless streak was going to continue. But then Mike Grella came off the substitute’s bench — making his Columbus and 2018 debut — and provided the late-game heroics to help lift Crew SC to their first win since March 24.
Grella, who missed nearly a year of action with a knee injury, scored his first goal since Oct. 16, 2016, settling a Pedro Santos cross before finishing inside the near post in the 84th minute.
Harrison Afful opened the scoring for Columbus (4-3-2). It was ironically his first regular-season goal since that same game in which Grella tallied for the Red Bulls in 2016.
“The whole group is extremely proud of him,” Crew SC coach Gregg Berhalter said of Grella. “I think it’s a testament to him as a person and as an athlete that he’s been out this long, and comes back and can make that type of impact.”
