Week one of the 2022 MLS is in the books! All 28 teams played their first matches of the very young season. Some got off to hot starts, some showed rust, and some looked like they didn’t know a game was being played. Let's take a look back at all the highlights to tie a bow on week one of 2022.
Week One
Week one saw 14 matchups, eight of which showcased east vs west matchups. 35 goals were scored across the 14 games, and only two games were scoreless draws. Here’s a look back at the first week of MLS in 2022.
