Week 11 featured just about everything you can expect in an 
MLS
matchday: high-scoring wins, big upsets and tight stalemates.
Just when the Timbers looked to be putting a run together, the Earthquakes rained on their parade with another onslaught from their league-best attack.
It was status quo for the league’s top-three teams, with Vancouver, Miami and Columbus each cruising to wins over the weekend.
Catch up on what you missed from last weekend’s MLS action with GIVEMESPORT’s Week 11 power rankings!
1
Vancouver Whitecaps
Last week: 1st (no change)
Result: 2-1 win vs Real Salt Lake
Up next: Sunday, May 11 vs LAFC (7:00 pm ET)
The 
Vancouver Whitecaps
rotated again this week and still managed to win, getting a standout showing from Jayden Nelson in a match that wasn’t as close as the scoreline indicated.
2
Inter Miami
Last week: 2nd (no change)
Result: 4-1 win vs New York Red Bulls
Up next: Saturday, May 10 at Minnesota United (4:30 pm ET)
Inter Miami CF
got a much-needed dominant win, with Lionel Messi
grabbing an emphatic goal to cap things off. They’re playing at a Supporters’ Shield-winning pace, to the surprise of absolutely no one.
3
Columbus Crew
Last week: 3rd (no change)
Result: 4-2 win vs Charlotte FC
Up next: Saturday, May 10 at Philadelphia Union (7:30 pm ET)
Things were tight between the 
Columbus Crew SC
and Charlotte FC until the Crew took off in the second half, getting four goals from four different scorers to get a win against a really difficult Eastern Conference opponent.
4
Philadelphia Union
Last week: 5th (+1)
Result: 2-1 win vs CF Montreal
Up next: Saturday, May 10 vs Columbus Crew (7:30 pm ET)
The 
Philadelphia Union
’s midfield continues to perform at a high level this year. Dejan Lukic and Danley Jean Jacques each logged an assist in a win over Montreal, setting up a really tasty match against Columbus this weekend.
5
Seattle Sounders
Last week: 8th (+3)
Result: 4-1 win vs St. Louis City
Up next: Saturday, May 10 vs Houston Dynamo (8:30 pm ET)
Danny Musovski kept up his scoring streak in a dominant 4-1 
Seattle Sounders
win over St. Louis. They’re rounding into form after a tough start to the year, as they always seem to do under Brian Schmetzer.
6
FC Cincinnati
Last week: 4th (-2)
Result: 1-0 loss at NYCFC
Up next: Saturday, May 10 vs Austin FC (7:30 pm ET)
FC Cincinnati
weren’t great in a 1-0 loss to NYCFC. Pat Noonan was frustrated afterwards with how they used the ball, ending a five-match win streak. Playing Austin at home should be a chance to get right.
7
Minnesota United
Last week: 11th (+4)
Result: 3-0 win at Austin FC
Up next: Saturday, May 10 vs Inter Miami (4:30 pm ET)
Minnesota United
won their first match in five attempts against Austin, and got new signing Julian Gressel on the pitch for the first time. He’ll have a reunion against his former team, Inter Miami, this weekend.
8
Nashville SC
Last week: 7th (-1)
Result: 1-1 draw at Atlanta United
Up next: Saturday, May 10 vs Charlotte FC (8:30 pm ET)
Nashville SC
created enough chances to win against Atlanta but had to settle for a draw. They use the ball really, really well, but the finishing is too sporadic at this point.
9
San Diego FC
Last week: 13th (+4)
Result: 5-0 win vs FC Dallas
Up next: Saturday, May 10 at St. Louis City (8:30 pm ET)
San Diego FC
ended a three-match losing streak with a blowout win, crushing Dallas 5-0 at home. Chucky Lozano is healthy, Anders Dreyer is flying, and this team looks good again.
10
LAFC
Last week: 14th (+4)
Result: 2-0 win vs Houston Dynamo
Up next: Sunday, May 11 at Vancouver Whitecaps (7:00 pm ET)
Is Nathan Ordaz the answer up top for 
Los Angeles FC
? He scored after getting a start ahead of Olivier Giroud and Jeremy Ebobisse, giving Steve Cherundolo a real selection headache up top.
