Week 12 of MLS play took place on a Wednesday night when 20 of the 28 teams were in action. It was a throwback to MLS of the past in terms of weeknight matches counting as a week's worth of play. Nevertheless, there was fun action, thrilling matches, fights, and much much more! Here's a look back at week 12.
Week 12 of 2022
In week 12 there were 10 matches all on one night of action. Seven teams from the east and 13 teams from the western conference played, and it showed that these teams were on short rest. Each team had played on the weekend, was going to play the following weekend, or had both to manage. Here's a look back at the highlights from week 12.
