MLS Week 18: Chicago scores seven, Vancouver beats Seattle

A short week 18 of the 2025 MLS season started at Audi Field, where Chicago beat DC United 7-1 on the road. Maren Haile-Selassie opened the scoring for the Fire in the 8th and Jonathan Bamba doubled the lead in the 23rd. Chicago’s Tim Barlow added goals in the 30th and 44th with Philip Zinckernagel making it 5-0 in the 56th. Dominique Badji scored for DC in the 60th. Barlow scored again for Chicago in the 65th and Brian Gutierrez finished off the goals a minute into stoppage time.

“I think that the group has really – not surprised me – but I think it’s a really good group to work with because of how hard they work in training and the intensity they put into training, and that’s the fundamental for everything,” Chicago coach Gregg Berhalter said. “We know we need to keep getting better. We know we need to add some more quality to the roster. But with that work ethic as the foundation, it’s a real positive.”

Austin won 2-0 at Colorado, going ahead from a Mikkel Desler goal in the 6th. An own-goal doubled the lead in the 66th minute.

On Sunday, Portland beat St Louis 2-1 at home after falling behind to an Akil Watts goal in the 50th. Antony equalized for the Timbers in the 55th and David Ayala scored a minute into stoppage time.

LAFC won 3-1 at home over Sporting Kansas City. Sporting KC took the lead in the 39th from a Dejan Jovelic goal. LAFC’s Edie Segura equalized a minute into first-half stoppage time, Denis Bouanga converted a penalty in the 59th, and Olivier Giroud scored three minutes into stoppage time.

Week 18 ended in Vancouver, with the Whitecaps beating Seattle 3-0. Vancouver took the lead from a Jeevan Badwal goal in the 40th. Seattle’s Nouhou Tolo saw red in the 52nd and Jon Bell was sent off in the 55th. Daniel Rios doubled the Whitecaps’ lead in the 70th and Damir Kreilach converted a penalty in the 88th minute.

On Thursday, NYCFC shutout Atlanta 4-0, going ahead from a Maximiliano Moralez goal in the 44th. Mounsef Bakrar doubled the lead in the 55th and Hannes Wolf added goals in the 57th and 59th minutes.
