1. Philadelphia Union<\/h3>\n\n\nPrevious position:<\/strong> 1\n\nA late goal from Deandre Kerr secured a 1-1 draw against Toronto. Fortunately for the Philadelphia side, their main rivals also suffered setbacks this weekend.\n\n\n

2. San Diego FC<\/h3>\n\n\nPrevious position:<\/strong> 3\n\nHirving Lozano and Anders Dreyer were the key figures in the 2-0 away victory against Kansas City. Lozano, with a great goal from outside the area, opened the scoring.\n\n\n

3. Inter Miami CF<\/h3>\n\n\nPrevious position:<\/strong> 2\n\nThe absence of Lionel Messi seems to take its toll. Miami fell 4-1 to Orlando in the Sun Classic, showing problems in attack and unable to stop Mart\u00edn Ojeda.\n\n\n
