Hmm. Minnesota cannot absolutely clinch this weekend but if they win while Rayo loses they would be pretty close. Rayo would then need Minnesota to lose the finale and they would have to make up a lot of goal difference in the last game if that happens.

A Rayo win and a Minnesota loss would really make it interesting between those two in the final week. That would give OKC a three point lead and narrow the goal difference to almost nothing.

Wins by either of those teams would pretty much eliminate everyone else. Tampa Bay would cling to hope with a win. Fort Lauderdale plays Rayo so they can help themselves with a win but they are so far down on goal difference they also need a loss by Minnesota.

Miami could stick around by beating a Cosmos team with nothing to play for but they need the teams above them to drop a lot of points. Carolina has to beat Minnesota and hope for a miracle.

That is correct. This is the final week. Rayo just needs 1 point. And they might not even need that. Minnesota will play first on Saturday. If they don't win, Rayo is in.
