Round 9 Flips the Script: Champions Stumble, Anderson Park Take the Summit

FC Anderson Park North Sydney handed FC SPIDERS Sydney their first defeat of the season, edging a 3–2 thriller to jump to the top on 23 points and underline their status as the reigning champions who know how to win the big ones. The former runners-up didn’t collapse, but the table now has genuine tension, with only a point separating the top two.

Behind them, the chasing pack stayed busy. Bacon Boys FC kept momentum with a narrow win, while Adelaide Football Club also collected a tidy away result to sit level with Bacon on 18 points. CIKAR made a loud statement too, and Croweater FC continue to offer goals and chaos in equal measure.

The Golden Boot race is heating up: Lulbukur Mehaj has surged to 13, matching Christian Whatmore, while Chris Lynch and Eri Baroni are now up to 7 each — form that could swing the next set of fixtures.

Chasers Roar, Aira Stay Clear as the Golden Boot Race Explodes

Aira FC responded emphatically, brushing aside Fairy Tail 4–0 to keep a three-point cushion at the top, with Koetsu Torisei adding two to hold on 42 league goals.

Maruo’s 24-goal rout was driven by Yong Su Shon (11) and Tatsuya Shimizu (12), while Kawasaki’s 18-goal sweep featured Toshiro Asahara (four).

Just Vale Surge Clear, While the Chasers Keep Perfect Pace

The summit finally split as Just Vale edged ahead on goal difference, with Waitakere United and Blue Pixies still locked on 24 points apiece. Vale’s narrow 1–0 win over Wellington Phoenix proved decisive in a round where the contenders otherwise feasted, including Waitakere’s 13–0 rout and Pixies’ emphatic 9–0 response. The Golden Boot race tightened too: Henry Subritzky hit one to reach 41, now level with Patuone Brooks (41), while Hohepa Kaka climbed by four to 37.

Swans’ Statement Win Heats Up a Three-Team Sprint

YooSin 태권도 kept first place intact with a controlled 2–0 over Andong Mackerels, but the chasing pack landed a louder punch.

Yanbian Keep the Crown, but the Pack is Still Swarming

Yanbian FC stayed clear at the summit with a composed 4–0 win over Sydney Warriors, and the leaders remain almost untouchable at the back. The chasing trio answered in kind: Tongzhou Lions hit 14 against Song, while lanxingxing and baobeiqiqi both posted emphatic clean sheets to keep the title race tight.

Up front, the numbers keep climbing — Alen Hrovatic struck three to move to 28, while Hsu Bin exploded for four to reach 27. With Heng Huang still leading on 30, the Golden Boot fight is becoming as compelling as the championship chase.

Aurangabad Keep the Pace, but the Chasers Just Won’t Go Away

Aurangabad F.C. remain the league’s only unbeaten side after another ruthless clean-sheet win, stretching their lead to three points and pushing the goals-for column into triple digits. Behind them, the top four are still locked together on 22 points, with FC Pune City, Bengaluru and Rangdajied UFC all refusing to blink — Rangdajied’s 9-goal burst and Bengaluru’s 14-0 rout underlined how quickly momentum can swing.

The Golden Boot race is turning into a weekly headline: Saquib Masih moved to 39, while Ihsan Bucak surged to 36 and Kalipada Patel reached 35. With scoring this explosive, one heavyweight clash could reshape everything.

Title race flips again as Area6ten9okini. edge ahead

The summit changed hands in dramatic fashion, with Area6ten9okini. landing the statement result of the season: a 2–0 win over previously flawless Deportivo Dekara. The victory lifts Area6ten9okini. to 24 points on goal difference, while Dekara’s first defeat opens the door for a genuine four-team chase.

Behind them, Tak Tigers responded in ruthless style, sweeping aside Thai Fighter 12–0. The scoring charts reflect their firepower: Sawarng Onsiri struck 4 (now 28) and Suwit Tantinimitkul added 6 (now 26) to keep Tak within three points of the lead.

The other eye-catcher was Atilico de nezzuri, dismantling Thai FC 21–0 as Pavle Widmann hit 5 (now 23) and Adrian Ionescu delivered 7 (now 17). With Nongneng and Uttaradit Blades also piling on goals, momentum is building across the top half heading into a round packed with heavyweight pairings.

Beland Hit 170 as the Title Race Tightens at the Top

Cittá Beland stayed perfect with a ruthless 24–0 win, keeping Birkirkara level on points after their own 10–0 success. Xagħra made sure the chase remains crowded, powering to 18–0 and holding third with a single slip all season. In the Golden Boot, Christopher Weidner exploded from 87 to 101 goals (+14), while Carl Guerriera rose to 38 (+6).

Goal Glut Keeps the Order — Paduricea’s Late Twist Steals Headlines

Round 9 was another statement of intent across the top: Dacians White Wolves stayed flawless and stretched their scoring spree, while Moldavian Stars and Ferencváros both piled on points to keep the chase tight. The standout shock came in the battle of contenders as FC Paduricea edged FC Hermannstadt 3–2, a result that reshuffles the pack behind the leaders.

Now the spotlight turns to the marquee clash at the summit: Stars arrive in second with a red-hot attack led by Rustem Kunyakov (23) and Petre Fistican (18), but the champions have their own cutting edge in Ulrich Rickenbacher and Maxim Timbur (15 each). Elsewhere, Ferencváros lean on Lukas Urban (24) as they try to keep pace, while Paduricea ride the momentum of Dan Tarata (24) and Max Cebotari (17) after that statement win.

Onesti’s Statement Win, VITEZISTII’ Blitz and Abatorul’s Clean Sheet Tighten the Top

Round nine delivered a jolt of momentum at both ends of the table. FC 23 Mai Onesti responded to recent wobbles with a ruthless 4–1 away win over Giunamea Armaneasca, restoring daylight at the summit. Behind them, Abatorul Slobozia stayed in lockstep with the pace-setters by brushing aside FC Univ. Craiova 2–0, while VITEZISTII4S™ produced the weekend’s loudest roar with a 4–1 dismantling of Podgoria Murfatlar. The champions’ chase gained fresh bite too as Universitatea Cluj edged AFC Atletico Mangalia 3–2, and Navigator claimed a morale-boosting 2–0 over East Strike.

The numbers underline where the danger lies. Suphi Ozupek exploded from six to nine goals, suddenly the league’s hottest finisher, while Jean Mindeac (now six) and Ljubinko Djokic (four) give Onesti a sharpened edge. Abatorul’s threat is spread between Krzysztof Domrzalowski (four) and a disciplined back line that has conceded just six all season.

Now the schedule serves up a defining stretch: Onesti face a direct rival in VITEZISTII4S™, Podgoria look to steady themselves after conceding four, and Abatorul’s meeting with FC BEAUTY OF PAIN pits the league’s meanest defence against Grigore Naum, who has quietly climbed to five goals. With four sides clustered on 17 points or fewer behind the leaders, one more swing could redraw the chase again.

Top Two Turned the Screw as Beringen’s Lead Finally Cracked

Round 9 reshaped the summit with a pair of clinical away wins and a statement from the reigning champions. Atletico De Madrid kept their unbeaten run intact by shutting out Phantom Force FC 2–0, while Gravediggers punished the former leaders, beating Beringen United Mightyred 3–1 to leap into a joint lead on 21 points. With Beringen now two defeats in three, the early-season certainty has given way to a three-horse squeeze, and the chasing pack is close enough to smell a wobble.

The upcoming slate places the title narrative right back under the spotlight. Atletico’s next test comes against Beringen’s shot-heavy attack, still powered by Mattie Wragge (five) and Gasper Miklavcic (five), with Haddou, Dalen and Subota all on four; the difference now is the margin for error. For Gravediggers, the challenge is an in-form Albion Allstars side carried by league top scorer Didier Holzinger (eight) and supported by Harvey Braddock (four).

Elsewhere, crystal palace f.c look set to keep squeezing points from the middle, armed with a two-pronged threat in Orhan Karadeniz and Lamberto Perera Quintana (both four). At the other end, the battle for breathing room continues, and one clean performance could flip the mood fast.

Top Three Stay Perfectly Level After Another Goal Flood

Round nine did nothing to split the summit: Valur, Oldboys United and Junkers United all won again to sit dead level on 25 points, with 31 goals across their three matches. Arnor Ingi Davidsson now leads the scoring race on 39, jumping ahead of Jan Bozek (37). With the leaders all in action against top-half opposition next, the first real separation feels overdue.

Hibernia’s Five-Goal Surge Raises the Temperature at the Top

Round nine shook the picture without toppling it. Irish Villa Mob were held 1–1 by Leinster Lions, a reminder that the leaders can be edged into tight margins even with a league-best attack. That single point still keeps them front, but the chase has bite now: Hibernia ripped through SportingHaroldsCross 5–2 to close the gap and send a message before another heavyweight test. The scorers’ race is suddenly stacked too, with Joaquin Segura jumping to seven to sit level with Padraig Wilson and Philipp Lieuwen.

Next up, Hibernia meet fast n fit in a clash that could reshape the top three in one afternoon. fast n fit arrive buoyant after a 4–1 win and with Lieuwen on seven and Bob Magill steady at five; Hibernia counter with Segura’s streak and Furtunado Fidalgo still on six. At the summit, Villa face SportingHaroldsCross looking for a response after conceding five; Fergal O’Keefe (six) remains their sharpest edge, but the defensive reset has to be immediate.

Elsewhere, Knockea United keep collecting narrow wins and Pero Kopic stays locked on six, while Killarney Ravens FC finally added a second victory to climb into the mix just above the bottom cluster.

Thirteen, Five and a Statement: Dundonald and Wallace Turn Up the Heat

Round 9 hit like a hammer at both ends of the table, and the title race has tightened into a proper three-way squeeze. Dundonald Bluebell surged to the summit after a ruthless 13-goal display, while Wallace Army F.C answered with a 5–1 win that underlined their control and kept them level on 22 points. The headline act came from Guiomar Mathesanz, who rocketed to 14 league goals and has suddenly set the scoring pace at a frightening rate.

Bingolspor FC didn’t blink either, taking a point in a 2–2 that preserved their unbeaten rhythm and left them only two points back, with Yakumo Uetake up to 9 and Adriano Camacho to 8. Behind the leaders, Huntly FC showed their edge with a seven-goal shutout and Daniel Roberton reaching 10, while Fife Funk FC kept chipping away through Vefa Kanik (9) and Rafael Marco (8).

With the top five separated by four points, the next round feels less like a checkpoint and more like a pivot.

Road Wins and Clean Sheets Set Up a Title-Defining Weekend

Round nine sharpened the top end. Olimpija FC took another statement away win to stay unbeaten on 25 points, while TRABZONSP0R answered with a narrow success to hold second. Maribor FC also travelled well and climbed to 18, keeping the chase honest as the race compresses behind the leaders.

The scorer swing was telling. Lorenz Tschenet moved to 10 with another strike, while Raymond Mabaso exploded to 7 after a two-goal round in BLλCK MESA’s rout. Salih Onal added the decisive touch for TRABZONSP0R, and Jairo Rey and Musa Dilek both chipped in for Maribor. Even lower down, Tobiasz Cyran and Prakan Hirunmasuwan got on the sheet, hinting at timely momentum shifts.

Now the schedule serves a heavyweight meeting at the summit, with the unbeaten leaders facing their closest pressers. Behind them, a cluster from third to seventh can reshape the table in one swing — and with Poan (14) and Amiel (12) still hunting, goals should not be in short supply.

Peacocks Pour It On as Partizan Keep Marching and the Top Four Tightens

Round 9 carried a clear message: PARTIZAN FK don’t blink. A controlled 1–0 over Sloboda Tuzla kept them perfect at the summit, and the numbers are getting absurd — 18 scored, 2 conceded after nine. With Tor Roedal and Trpimir Veslica now level on five apiece, Partizan’s threat is no longer a one-man headline.

Behind them, the chase pack reshuffled. FC Peacocks almighty delivered the weekend’s statement, striking four times against Dinny to jump back into the title conversation on 18 points. The scoring chart reflects it too: Denio Felix has climbed to four goals, while Sphelele Thokoa is up to three (one from the spot). BH Dragons steadied with a 2–0 win over Blaugrana, powered by a red-hot pair — Jose Francisco Malpica and Gareth Kavanagh, both now on five.

What to Watch Next

The headline act is the leaders’ showdown with Dragons, a chance for Partizan to puncture the chase or for the 19-point visitors to drag the race back into range. Peacocks, meanwhile, need to back up that burst away at Sloboda Tuzla, while Sarajevo–Borac has the feel of a six-pointer for the European places. Keep one eye on Dinny–Imperial too: both have goals in them, but neither can afford another stumble.

Val’s 4–0 Statement Keeps the Perfect Run Intact

Chasers respond, but the gap won’t close itself

Round 9 tightened the title picture at the top and deepened it behind. Val United brushed aside Lazio_1900 4–0 to stay flawless, while Kazanlŭk Thracians FC and Vereya F.C. answered with 14 and 11 unanswered goals. Bonifacio Del Peral added 3 to lead the scoring race on 48, and Vereya’s Georgi Petrov hit a blistering 5-goal jump. Next up, the spotlight shifts to whether the leaders can keep clean sheets as the chase pack looks to turn big wins into real pressure.

Szeged’s 25-Goal Statement Keeps the Summit White-Hot

Round nine was pure demolition at both ends of the table: Szeged stretched clear with a staggering 25-goal shutout, while Football club Pécs fired 21 past Harcos11 to stay in touching distance. The chase pack tightened too — Hunyadi János landed a decisive blow on SKA-Khabarovsk (5–1), pulling the title race back into a four-point squeeze.

Now attention turns to another heavy weekend. Szeged bring an attack that’s already at 88 scored and two ruthless finishers in Guzman Balcarce Estrada (25) and Mark Varga (19). Pécs arrive with Oliver Kepecz red-hot on 27, while Hunyadi will lean on Benjamin Fitos (19) to keep pressure on the leaders. The looming test is SKA vs FTC Isti: Samopalnikov remains locked on 27, but Isti can answer with Jan Bizjak (25) and Basunia (24) in a matchup built for fireworks.

Majewski’s Burst Keeps Berane Roaring as Alliance Stay Ruthless

Round nine sharpened the title picture rather than settling it. For The Alliance kept the league’s best defence intact and added another statement win, a 2–0 success that lifted them to 22 points and just four conceded all season. The champions’ front line remains balanced: Vukosav Premovic moved to six goals, while Cvetko Vujosevic stays on five as the steady second wave.

Behind them, Grobari Berane continue to look like the one side happy to turn this into a sprint. Their 3–1 win pushed them to 20 points and, crucially, fired Michal Majewski to the top of the scoring race on eight (one penalty). With Berane up to 17 goals scored, they’re carrying the league’s most obvious “one-man swing” match-winner right now.

What to Watch Next

The upcoming round brings a pressure test for the leaders against a side still hunting its first win, while Berane face a promoted team that’s suddenly scoring freely. In the chasing pack, Nottingham Forest FC (four draws in nine) and the tightly clustered mid-table will know that one decisive result can reshape the entire top six.

Shock Setbacks, Tight Gaps: The Title Race Gets a Pulse

Dreamteam Still Unbeaten, But the Cushion Is Thin

A week of twists has squeezed the top end again. Grosuplje Dreamteam remain the league’s only unbeaten side after another draw, yet their lead is now just three points despite nine matches played. The numbers still look champion-worthy — 14 scored, 5 conceded — but the chasing pack have been handed belief, and the next test comes in a fierce local clash with Grosuplje FC, fresh off the round’s headline result. Dreamteam’s edge remains the finishing of Milorad Nikolić (6) and the steady support of Ahmed Hichem Zmit (4), with Branislav Markoš (2) lurking as a secondary threat.

United Stung, Dortmund Back in the Hunt

The biggest ripple was Manchester United FC being halted by a 0–2 defeat, their first loss of the campaign, which kept them on 16 points and invited Borussia Dortmund right alongside. Dortmund’s narrow win last time out lifted them to 16 as well, and their forward duo remains dangerous: Lucan Arcuri (3) and Laszlo Kovaček (3) are producing, with a big trip to NK Jesihdorf looming — a side built on draws and opportunism, led by Janez Mackotevc up to 4 goals.

Alkosi’s Momentum, SVIZEC’s Firepower

In the middle lane, Alkosi i drogeraši are quietly turning momentum into points and goals: Sas Lap now tops the scoring charts alone on 7 and they head into their next game sensing another step up the table. SD SVIZEC remain volatile — 13 scored, 12 conceded — but can hit anyone when Augusto Almeida (5) catches rhythm. With margins so fine, one more upset round could redraw the top six entirely.

Goals everywhere in round nine as hammertime keep rolling and Lebrun steals the spotlight

Round nine leaned heavily into the league’s chaotic streak: six matches, 18 goals, and momentum swings from top to bottom. hammertime were the most convincing winners, powering past De Rode Leeuwen to move top on 22 points and keep their forward line humming. Noe Guilllaume continues to be the reference point, climbing to 7 goals and ensuring the new leaders rarely need many chances to decide games.

Chasers hold pace, mid-table explodes

Sasboys stayed unbeaten and right on the leaders’ shoulder, but a share of the points against FC Goldstar kept the gap at a single point. Goldstar’s draw was valuable too, maintaining their place in the top three while tightening the margins behind the front pair.

The loudest statement, though, came from Club Internationale. A five-goal blitz dragged them up the table and crowned Jean Rene Lebrun as the division’s new top scorer on 11, a leap that reshapes how opponents will defend them in the coming round. Merchtem2016 also delivered a clean-sheet win, with Atinc Agaca now up to 7 and giving their next outing a sharper edge. With confidence rising in the chasing pack and the top two separated by the finest of margins, the next set of fixtures feels less like routine and more like a measuring stick for everyone involved.

Pardal’s Ten-Goal Surge Blows the Title Race Wide Open

Round nine brought a proper shake-up at the top: S. C. Pena d’Alva outmuscled Futebol Clube do Porto 3–1 to close the gap and drag the leaders into a three-way squeeze. The headline act was Joaquim Pardal, who struck three and exploded to 10 league goals — a runaway leap that now sets the tempo for every defence in the division. Porto still sit first, but their cushion has evaporated after back-to-back weeks without a win.

Just behind, Galacticos C.P. kept pace with a 2–2 draw at Vale Pisão, moving to within a point of top spot. Vale’s attack looked sharper again, with Dirk Hausler scoring one to reach four, matching Furtunado Malato (also one, now four). In the chasing pack, Sumolix Stars delivered the cleanest statement, brushing aside Benfica 3–0 as Josias Abril hit two to climb to six — suddenly second-tier pressure is becoming top-four ambition.

Preview

The next slate is loaded with momentum tests: Porto face another awkward hurdle against Grupo Desportivo de Sá while Galacticos meet draw-specialists Atalaia. Pena d’Alva’s hot hand now runs into Sá FC, and Sumolix will look to keep their new edge against ODC WaRrIoRz v2. With five clubs separated by eight points, one more weekend like the last could redraw the entire table.

Heavyweights Hit Top Gear as the Leaders Finally Blink

Goals Everywhere, but One Clean Sheet Still Defines the Summit

Round nine turned into a statement week for the chasers. Swedish Academy piled on 16 without reply and kept the pressure on a Norrlandsfotboll FC side that, for the first time, dropped points in a 0–0 stalemate — yet still sits top with an unbeaten record.

The headline blast came from Bałtyk Gdynia, who struck 13 and now look like a genuine third-force threat on both form and volume. That outburst was driven by the league’s hottest duo: Mathias Engan netted eight to reach 16 overall, while Luke Cox added four and Aristedes Lembessis chipped in one as Bałtyk’s front line surged up the charts.

Elsewhere, BK National edged another tight win and SuperIbra stayed in touch, but the next round feels pivotal: the leaders face a direct test, and the pack behind them suddenly has real momentum.

Albisrieden’s Shutout Statement Keeps the Pack at Arm’s Length

Round 9 tightened the race everywhere except at the very top. FC Albisrieden produced the week’s most authoritative result, blanking Fc Black Panther 2–0 to move onto 22 points and reassert their control. With Jason Walter nudging his tally to 16, the leaders keep finding separation through ruthless efficiency — just three goals conceded across nine matches.

Behind them, the chasing line held firm rather than surged. FC Appenzell stayed unbeaten with a 1–1 draw against fc schönspieler, while NK Bugojno did the job in Turin to stay level on 19 points. The weekend’s chaos came lower down: fc walhalla outgunned HyperVibes 3–2, and FC KOFA finally found their shooting boots with a nine-goal blitz.

Now the next slate brings pressure points: Albisrieden’s attack meets a steelheads side with Timo Astley up to 9, while Appenzell will look to grind out another step and Bugojno’s momentum faces a stubborn, draw-happy opponent. If the contenders want to turn “close” into “chase,” this is the weekend to do it.

Round 9 Delivers Fireworks — and a New Leader Emerges

A weekend of twists has flipped the top of the Premiere Division on its head. Kahla & Hamra did what champions-in-waiting must do: win the tight one. Their 1–0 success over USM.GAZA pushed them to the summit, and it also underlined why they’re suddenly the pace-setters — this side can score in bursts, but it can grind, too. With Anton Bach still the headline act on five (one penalty) and support coming from Anbumadi Vijaya and Marcin Cieslicki (three each), the league’s most balanced attack now faces a defining test against USM Alger, who arrive on the back of another composed win and have their own finishers warming up.

Elsewhere, the round’s statement scoreline was the breathtaking 4–4 draw involving alger united and FC Green Gunners. The point keeps alger united firmly in the chase, but the defending will worry them before a tricky trip to Mouloudia Club Oran. Their edge remains up front: Dahmane Khanifsi stays on seven, while Nacir Bouaicha has surged to five.

The other title contenders have no room for breathers. RC Kouba were edged 2–1 by Banu Zayan FC and now must reset quickly, with Banu’s Jacek Filipiak pulling clear atop the scoring race on nine (one penalty). With the top three separated by a single point, this next slate feels less like routine fixtures and more like early-season judgement day.

Goal Glut Keeps Royal Pari Perfect as Chasers Trade Heavy Blows

The top end stayed ruthless: Royal Pari rolled on with an eight-goal clean sheet to make it nine wins from nine, while Blooming answered with a 15-goal statement and Club Bolívar hit double figures again to keep the pressure on. Club Atlético Ciclón kept pace the hard way, grinding out another 1–0. In the scoring race, Jaakoppi Harju exploded for 8 and Papilo Koffler struck 7, as Iman Tome added 4 to stay clear.

Statement Wins at Both Ends: Leaders Pile On, Chasers Hold Nerve

Round 9 delivered a clear message: the front-runners can win ugly, then win big. The Lads followed their steady control with a 10–0 blitz to stay unbeaten, while North Mississauga SC edged another tight 1–0 to keep the pressure on at the summit. Behind them, last season’s champions Football club de Taher flexed again with nine unanswered, and Quebec Football Club showed resilience to take a 2–1 road win and stay level on points with Taher.

Now the next slate tightens the title picture: Bulletproof Monks remain the league’s draw specialists, but they also have the golden boot leader in Ventzislav Kalchev (21). Taher’s surge is powered by Cassius Borges, who added 3 last round to reach 16, while The Lads’ duo Beto Unquera and Borenko Drljaca sit on 8 each. With five clubs separated by six points, one decisive weekend could redraw everything.

Shock Scores Tighten the Chase as Assisi Pull Clear

A chaotic round finally cracked the title picture open. Assisi Lagos Nueva Galicia stayed relentless with a 4–2 win over Ocelotes del Sur and now sit alone on 25 points, while Panteras Negras UAM took their first defeat, 0–2, letting the pack breathe again.

C.D. Guadalajara were the big movers, backing up their efficiency with another clean sheet to climb into third, and their finishers remain box-office: Leoncio Posada (16), Valerio Grimaldi (15) and Federico Barquín (15).

Momentum is everywhere now. Octopus MX just dropped seven on Perro Loko, and Real Geminis have found goals, with Gianpiero Rullo up to 15 after a ten-goal rout.

Next up, the spotlight swings to the summit clash — and the chasing trio will be waiting for any wobble.

Round 9 Tightens the Title Race Into a Two-Team Deadlock

Round 9 brought clarity at the very top and chaos everywhere else. Telluride Smugglers and Velez SC both did enough to stay level on 20 points, with Telluride’s 1–1 draw at mexico city proving just as valuable as Velez’s narrow 1–0 win over New Jersey Stars. The margins are razor-thin, and a single lapse now feels like it could cost first place.

The champions FC Seher Bosna reminded everyone they’re still the division’s most explosive outfit, thumping TeamScout 4–1 to jump to 22 goals scored. Spass Bojichkov didn’t add to his tally this time but remains the league’s top marksman on 9, while the chasing pack is led by Walter Scandella, whose one goal in the draw lifted him to 7.

Elsewhere, NY Cosmos stayed steady with a 2–0 win and now carry a real defensive edge (just 4 conceded all season). Galaxy LA were held again, drawing 1–1 with SC Real Madrid, while SmarTeam made it back-to-back wins by edging FC Dallas 2–1 — a boost that keeps the lower half from drifting.

Now comes a round with genuine top-end bite: the co-leaders face stern tests, and the chasing trio know one big night could flip the table. With Taffat still on 7 and Klein surging to 5, the next goals may decide who carries momentum into the new year.
