Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami marched on courtesy of a 3-1 win over LAFC, continuing their unbeaten run since the Argentine’s arrival over the summer.
Meanwhile, table toppers Cincinnati fell to a shock defeat to third placed Orlando in the Eastern league, while a win for DC United over Chicago lifted them above their opponents and into the final play off place as things stand.
On the other side of the country, lowly Kansas City picked up a shock result of their own, beating top of the league St Louis City, while Austin couldn’t capitalise on dropped points above them but remain firmly in the hunt for a play off spot.
