Historic MLS Weekend: Matchday 33 Sees Record Goals, Hat-Tricks, and a Stoppage-Time Winner | OneFootball

MLS Matchday 33 was incredible. This is a weekend that will be remembered in league history due to the excitement and drama all over the weekend. From last-second winners to record-setting performances, the action was non-stop.

Four hat-tricks rewrote the record books

For the first time in MLS history four different players scored hat-tricks on the same matchday: Thomas Müller, Denis Bouanga, Diego Rossi and Idan Toklomati. Each of those performances was the difference maker that night , and the fact that they all happened across the 15 game slate made the night special.

57 goals: a matchday for the record books

Across the 15 games that made up Matchday 33, MLS teams scored 57 goals, tying the 2022 record of the most in a single matchday in league history.

26 of the 30 teams scored and more than 2/3 of the games had 3 or more goals. The output (and the four hat-tricks) made this matchday one of the most fun offensive slates in MLS history.

Evander’s stoppage-time winner

FC Cincinnati’s night was different in tone but just as dramatic. Trailing Nashville SC late, Evander scored in the 8th minute of second half stoppage time to turn a 1–1 game into a 2–1 win at TQL Stadium. The goal locked up a playoff spot for Cincinnati and will be a highlight reel for a long time. The club’s official recap and match reports will tell you all about the timing and importance of the goal.
