MLS LIVE: Nashville red-hot, Atlanta look to bounce back; Austin host LAFC | OneFootball

SATURDAY'S KEY MATCHES

What a start to the season for Nashville, and a new club record to boot!

Dallas extend their lead in the derby!

It's a superb start for the home side as Logan Farrington has bagged his and Dallas' second of the night. What a start for the hosts!

The goals are flying in now, as Colorado have take a 1-0 lead in Kansas City, while New England have snatched the lead on the road in St. Louis!

Goal Charlotte!

Pep Biel splits the wall from the resulting free-kick and slots it home in the bottom corner.

Some suspect decision making in the setup of that wall...

RED CARD RED BULL NEW YORK!

It goes from bad to worse for Michael Bradley's side as Gustav Berggren has been sent off a denial of a goalscoring opportunity.

Down two goals, and now down a man. A big hill to climb for away side.

Goal Dallas!

No Petar Musa, no problem for Dallas as they open the scoring in tonight's Texas derby. A supern control and finish from Logan Farrington!

Goal Charlotte!

Dean Smith's side are two ahead against Red Bull New York, and it took them less than a minute in the second half.

A superb team move is capped off by Kerwin Vargas.

Some very strong words from Philadelphia Union captain and legend Alejandro Bedoya after his side dropped a fifth straight game.

And we are underway in three more games this evening as Dallas host Houston, Sporting KC take on Colorado, and St. Louis City face off with New England.

Austin and LAFC will be kicking off shortly!

🚨 The final whistle puts Orlando City out of their misery this afternoon, as it finishes 5-0 to Nashville!

Sam Surridge and co. sit top of the Supporters Shield standings.

Wilfried Zaha nearly pulled off the assist of the season so far after putting a Red Bull defender in the blender, but Kerwin Vargas somehow couldn't score from point-blank range!

You can't run out of superlatives for this Nashville team at the moment. They look frankly unplayable on their night.

Goal Nashville (again)!

Well, Orlando are having a night to forget, and Nashville are having a night to remember as they have extended their lead to FIVE!

And it's another banger to boot.

Goal Nashville!

It's a hat-trick for Sam Surridge! The Englishman is in fantastic form to start the season, and he has three more in the bag this evening.

Orlando City are getting absolutely steam-rolled by Nashville, who may just be the most in-form team in North America.

Check out the finish. A toe-poke to the top-corner!

Just take a look at that front-three for LAFC as they confirm their starting lineup to face Austin!

Definition of lethal

No team is yet to crack the LAFC shield so far this season, but perhaps this starting XI from Austin can do some damage?

An absolutely putrid start for the reigning Supporters Shield winners, Philadelphia Union.

Goal Nashville!

Just days after knocking Inter Miami out of the Concacaf Champions Cup this week, Nashville are absolutely flying against Orlando this afternoon.

Sam Surridge has just put the hosts 3-0 up in the early stages of the second half.

📝 Houston Dynamo team news is in as they take on Dallas in a Texas derby this evening!

And we're just about underway with the afternoon/evening's matches as a slumping Atlanta host D.C. United, while Charlotte will take on Michael Bradley's burgeoning Red Bull New York.

Here we go for another riveting evening of MLS action!

In case you missed it, check out this absolute screamer from Cristian Espinoza against Orlando City!

But did he really mean it?

We had a couple of interesting results earlier in the day as Toronto dispatched a slumping Columbus Crew, while Chicago held on for a win in Philadelphia.
