WE'RE LEVEL AT THE DEATH!!

Portland head home from an inswinging ball into the box in the final seconds of extra time, with Gage Guerra bagging the goal!

VANCOUVER LEVELS IT LATE!

Center-back Ralph Priso-Mbongue finds the equalizer in the third minute of added time!

Is this going to penalties?!

They've done it!

Chucky Lozano puts SDFC into the lead seven minutes after the break with a close-range volley finish after James Pantemis makes an initial save.

An instant impact!

Half-Time

Dallas enjoy a one-goal lead at the break, while a late surge from SDFC levels matters at one-all at Providence Park

Level at Providence Park!

Veteran Norwegian striker Amahl Pellegrino strikes ot make it 1-1, as his recent run of goalscoring form sees him dispatch a curled effort into the top corner from just inside the box.

SDFC were denied a chance to make it 2-1 with a quick second, but star man Anders Dreyer was ruled to be offside in the build-up.

Petar Musa continues his brilliant form across 2025 for Dallas, hitting the opener against heavily-favored Vancouver!

FIRST STRIKE IN PORTLAND

The Timbers take a 1-0 lead on a must-win night at Providence Park through a well-hit effort inside the box from Kristoffer Velde.

Just what Phil Neville needed!

We're underway in Portland and Dallas for the pair of late kick-offs.

Full-Time

Nashville outlast the late surge from the Herons to push their Round 1 tie to game three!

MESSI STRIKES!

Before the end of normal time, that man pops up to make it 2-1 to offer Inter Miami a glimmer of hope to make this go to penalties.

A "typical" strike from the Argentine sees him hit his 13th goal in 9 appearances against the hosts.

Oh, Sam!

The English striker spurns a glorious chance to make it 3-0 while putting the result to bed.

A huge opportunity blown.

Joe Willis comes up big!!

What a way to deny a lovely close-range effort by Luis Suárez, but the Nashville stopper makes himself big enough to stop the Uruguayan from getting the Herons on the board.

And now for the XIs for Dallas vs Vancouver:

Thoughts laid bare by the MLS studio crew at half-time as we kick off the second half in game two.

Can Nashville bring it home to force game three?

The starting XIs are in ahead of Portland vs SDFC:

THAT'S TWO!

Nashville are determined to force game three as Josh Bauer bungles his effort over the line from a seated position on the playing surface to make it 2-0!

GOAL!!

Nashville take an early 1-0 lead thanks to Sam Surridge from the penalty spot after he was brought down in the area.

The perfect start for B.J. Callaghan and company!

We are underway in Nashville, and B.J. Callaghan's side already have a penalty as Sam Surridge has been brought down in the box in the 7th minute!

In case you missed it

Two earlier kick-offs already offered up added drama to the opening round in the playoff bracket, with Charlotte forcing game three after a shootout win over NYCFC.

Elsewhere, Supporters' Shield winners and MLS Cup contender Philadelphia comfortably advanced into the conference semi-finals after dispatching Chicago in a 3-0 win.
