"After a statement win over Miami on opening weekend, LAFC claimed another three points in a 2-0 road win over the Houston Dynamo. Courtesy of long-range efforts from Mark Delgado and Stephen Eustáquio, this LAFC side showed just how many ways they can beat you."
"If there was any doubt about which Canadian club was the best in MLS (there wasn't), the 'Caps put it to rest on Saturday in a resounding 3-0 win over Toronto. With Thomas Müller's brace leading the charge, Vancouver looked every bit as good as the team that made MLS Cup last year."
"San Diego cruised to a 2-0 home win over St. Louis to close out the weekend's slate of games. Along the way, Anders Dreyer, who scored the opener, became the second-fastest player in MLS history to record 20 goals and 20 assists behind only Lionel Messi."
"Now that was more like it from the defending champions. After stumbling out of the gates against LAFC last weekend, Miami secured a dominant 4-2 road win over Orlando City. Javier Mascherano is still searching for a few answers when it comes to his team's positioning, but no matter: Miami's talent won the day on Sunday."
