Miami falls 2-1 to Toronto amid five-game winless streak

Inter Miami suffered a 2-1 defeat to Toronto FC at Nu Stadium on Saturday night, deepening a winless streak that now spans five matches. The loss leaves the reigning MLS Cup champions searching for answers amid mounting scrutiny.

What the Toronto result means for Miami

The midweek 3-3 draw with Philadelphia now appears more forgivable: the Union are surging, and that result came against an in-form side finding valuable rhythm. But Toronto — currently adrift under Robin Fraser — was expected to be beatable. Josh Sargent’s high-profile signing has yet to deliver the anticipated lift, yet Toronto executed effectively. They kept Miami off the scoresheet in the first half and grew more expansive after the hour mark. Sargent opened the scoring in the 59th minute; Derrick Etienne added a second three minutes later. Messi scored in stoppage time, but it only narrowed the deficit — not the gap in performance.

Vancouver’s commanding 5-0 win over Dallas

The Vancouver Whitecaps secured a statement 5-0 victory over FC Dallas. Andres Cubas anchored the midfield defensively, while Oliver Larraz — making his eighth start of the season — offered a promising response to the creative void left by Sebastian Berhalter’s departure. Brian White scored twice, and Thomas Muller registered an assist as Vancouver delivered one of the league’s most emphatic results of the weekend.

Nashville’s historic start continues

Nashville SC extended their undefeated streak with a dramatic 3-2 comeback win over Columbus Crew. Hany Mukhtar opened the scoring just before the 30th minute, but Columbus responded with two goals midway through the second half. In the 93rd minute, left back Reed Baker-Whiting equalized. Right back Andy Najar then scored the winner two minutes later — a quick pivot and low strike into the bottom corner. Nashville now holds the best start in MLS history: 49 points from 21 games.

St. Louis responds to roster turbulence

About five hours before kickoff, St. Louis CITY announced the trade of Eduard Lowen. The club stated it would not discuss a contract extension until season’s end — a decision that raised immediate questions about roster stability. This followed the earlier departure of Marcel Hartel. Yet St. Louis again responded with resilience: center back Dante Polvara scored the 85th-minute winner against Houston, preserving the team’s undefeated streak against surging opposition.

Griezmann breaks scoring drought with brace

Antoine Griezmann ended his goal-scoring drought with two goals for Orlando City in a 2-1 win over Real Salt Lake. His chance creation remains elite — over two per 90 minutes — and his expected assists (0.4 per 90) rank second in MLS over the past nine games. Against RSL — still adjusting to the absence of Zavier Gozo — Griezmann’s material output translated directly into results.
