Israeli footballers delivered standout performances in Major League Soccer (MLS) on Wednesday night, with Liel Abada scoring a hat-trick and Dor Turgeman netting a brace, just two weeks before the end of the regular season. Abada entered the match as a substitute for Charlotte FC and scored three goals in an 18-minute span during their 4-0 victory over CF Montréal. Teammate Idan Toklomati also found the back of the net.

Turgeman continued his impressive form for the New England Revolution, scoring twice in their match against the New York Red Bulls. He scored his first goal in the 9th minute and his second in the 46th minute. While the Red Bulls managed to equalize in the 64th minute, a goal from Hungarian player Daniel Gazdag secured the win for New England. This victory, combined with a draw between Inter Miami and Cincinnati, propelled New England to second place in the Eastern Conference standings.

In other MLS action, Ran Benjamin started for FC Dallas in their 2-0 loss to Columbus Crew, though Dallas has already secured a playoff spot. Colorado Rapids' Sayed Abu Farhi came on as a substitute in their 2-2 draw with San Jose Earthquakes, with both teams still competing for playoff berths. Meanwhile, Tai Baribo was injured and did not play in D.C. United's loss to Toronto FC, a result that eliminated D.C. United from playoff contention.
