A look back at this week in MLS: Matchday 15 of 2023

Matchday 15 means we’re inching closer to the midway point of the 2023 MLS season, and the table is really starting to shape up. Maybe we can start to get an idea of which teams are true contenders and who’s playing pretender. Of the 14 games across last Saturday and Sunday, the home teams made out best, per usual in MLS, with only three teams getting all 3 points on the road on matchday 15.

MLS Matchday 15 Highlights

Matchday 15 brought fans a lot of action over Memorial Day weekend. 44 goals were scored across the two days with seven of the 14 games having a scoreline consisting of 3+ goals. After going down 1-0 on the road, Union scored three unanswered to beat NYCFC by a score of 3-1, handing NYCFC their first loss at City Field in MLS play.

St Louis City SC continues to shock the MLS world. A 3-1 win at home against Vancouver has St Louis grasping onto the 2nd spot in the Western Conference, just one point out of first place with two games in hand in their inaugural season.

And in the Eastern Conference, FC Cincinnati gets a 1-0 win on the road against Colorado to extend their lead in the Supporters Shield race to five points, with 33 points overall.
