MLS Power Rankings: LAFC off to a record-breaking start
**MLS Power Rankings: LAFC Breaks Records in Nigeria's Favourite League**
It's Monday and the excitement is back in the MLS. Our writers have taken a close look at the action from Matchday 4 to bring you this week's Power Rankings.
From the thrilling 6-0 victory of the Vancouver Whitecaps over Minnesota to the dominant displays of LAFC, it's been a thrilling start to the season. But who's on top? Let's dive in.
**1. Vancouver Whitecaps**
The Whitecaps are off to a flying start, and their 6-0 thrashing of Minnesota is a testament to their strength. Even with a partially rotated team, they showed no signs of weakness, scoring goals in open play and on set pieces. They're the team to beat right now in the MLS.
**2. LAFC**
LAFC is making history with their four consecutive shutouts to start the season. They might not have created a lot of chances, but Mathieu Choinière's two goals in the second half sealed the deal in their 2-0 win over St. Louis. They're getting stronger by the week.
**3. Nashville SC**
Cristian Espinoza's classy assist for Hany Mukhtar's game-winner over the Crew is exactly what Nashville fans wanted when they signed him as a free agent. The win is a boost to their season, and they're getting back in the mix.
**4. San Diego Loyal**
San Diego might be disappointed with a blown lead against FC Dallas, but they can take comfort in earning a hard-fought road point. These points are precious, especially with the Concacaf Champions Cup draw looming.
**5. Inter Miami CF**
Inter Miami's attack was muted without Lionel Messi in the lineup, but they still managed a 0-0 draw with Charlotte. It's hard to read much into this result, but one thing is clear: they want to win the Champions Cup badly.
As we move into Matchday 5, the excitement is building. Who will come out on top this week?
