In a match where they need to win or they'll be knocked out in the first round of the MLS Cup playoffs for the second consecutive season, key Inter Miami attacker Luis Suarez has found out that he will be suspended.

Inter Miami star Lionel Messi headlined MLS' Best XI for the 2025 season. LAFC's Denis Bouanga and San Diego FC's Anders Dreyer, both MVP finalists, joined Messi along the front line. The midfield included FC Cincinnati's Evander and the Vancouver Whitecaps' Sebastian Berhalter, who's the son of former United States men's coach Gregg Berhalter.
