PBP: 2024 MLS Season PBP Thread Week 25 September 18 - 22 {R}

Colorado 2-0 Toronto

Mihailovic pk


Colorado 3rd, LAFC 4th, Houston 5th

 

With that goal Djordje Mihailovic sets a new Rapids team record for goals + assists in a season with 24

 

SKC-Minnesota just resumed play.

 

Diogo

RSL 3-2 Portland

 

Rodriguez in the 92nd

RSL 3-3 Portland

 

FT Colorado 2-0 Toronto

Colorado clinches a playoff spot and hits 50 points a year after their worst season ever.

 

RSL blows a tire and drops two important points. Game over 3-3

 

Galaxy rolling now

LA 2-0 Vancouver

 

The second Galaxy goal was the first own-goal of the day in MLS.

 

The Timbers refused to be felled!

 

Yeboah - if Minnesota wins they'll be within striking distance of #8 Portland

KC 0-1 Minnesota

 

Brian White-caps

LA 2-1 Vancouver

 

The Fire refused to NOT be felled.
0-2 Montreal

San Jose, we coming for ya'

Don't blow our momentum to the bottom and the wooden spoon by losing to St. Louis.

 

Paintsil

LA 3-1 Vancouver

 

PK for KC in the 88th

 

And Agada hits the crossbar and misses the pk. Fitting end to their playoff hopes.

 

Hlongwane with a late goal. KC is eliminated.

KC 0-2 Minnesota

 

Puig

LA 4-1 Vancouver

With the chasers not winning, LA Galaxy have pretty much wrapped up 1st in the West (not a 100% guarantee, but they're getting much closer to it)

 

Too little too late. Adekugbe from Gauld

LA 4-2 Vancouver

 

Whew! St. Louis hangs on for the win, just their 6th of the season. The team is 4-0-0 against San Jose, and their infinitessimal playoff chances are still there. I don't know where this team would be without Roman Burki...the guy's a real beast between the sticks.

 

Decision Day could be quite fun this year.

In the East, 4-7 are separated by 3 points, while 9-13 are separated by 1 point (pending Philly v DC tomorrow)

In the West, 2-7/8 is really a crap shoot:

#2 RSL = 51 pts
#3 Colorado = 50 pts
#4 LAFC = 49 pts (game in hand)
#5 Houston = 48 pts
#6 Seattle = 47 pts
#7 Vancouver = 46 pts (game in hand; 4 home games out of 5)
#8 Portland = 44 pts ​

 

Boo! That ruins the Fire's chances for the Spoon, but good for St. Louis

 

Always happy to help out Chicago...the same way Kansas City helped out St. Louis tonight!

 

Didn't help us!
We won't spoon this season!
We were in St. Louis for Christmas (my nephew lives there) for the first time in decades. He lives in Soulard.
It was awesome!

 

If Colorado wins at Minnesota (their game in hand) and then beats the Galaxy at home in LA's next game it could get interesting for the Galaxy. Short of that its pretty much over. LA's other two remaining games are Austin and Houston, so taking care of business in Commerce City should just about wrap it up.
