Nashville SC cemented their dominance on a historic MLS Decision Day, setting a new regular-season points record by defeating FC Cincinnati. The Vols amassed 77 points from 23 wins and eight draws, officially eclipsing Inter Miami’s previous benchmark of 75 points. This achievement underscores Nashville’s consistency throughout the 2026 campaign, securing their status as the league’s most efficient team before the postseason begins.
Nashville shatters points record while Columbus’ late surge reshapes the East playoff picture.
Drama defined the Eastern Conference playoff race, where Columbus Crew’s late victory in Chicago triggered a chain reaction that reshaped the bracket. The win propelled the Crew into the top seven, directly sending Antoine Griezmann and Orlando City into a high-stakes play-in match. This late surge highlights the volatility of the final matchday, where simultaneous kickoffs ensured that every possession carried the weight of playoff qualification.
Meanwhile, Inter Miami’s season ended on a shaky note as they surrendered a 3-0 lead against Charlotte FC. The visitors mounted a furious comeback to snatch a point, leaving Miami with just one win in their final three matches. Despite the defensive lapse, Miami remains a formidable playoff threat, but the result serves as a cautionary tale about maintaining composure under pressure as the postseason intensifies.
