The MLS season continued with notable performances from Israeli players as Charlotte FC secured a 3-1 victory over D.C. United. Idan Tokelmuti started for Charlotte and played 75 minutes, while Liel Abada came off the bench in the 65th minute and made a decisive impact. After Luis Montaño gave D.C. United an early lead, Charlotte quickly turned the game around with goals from David Seng (64th minute) and Will Clary (66th minute). Abada then sprinted down the wing and assisted Pep Biel for the third goal in the 77th minute, sealing the win. D.C. United's Thai Baribo remained on the bench for the entire match.

In contrast, Ran Benyamin and his team Dallas FC suffered a heavy 5-0 defeat against Vancouver, led by Thomas Müller.

Bruno Caisedo added a fifth goal in the 68th minute to complete the rout.
