DC Power & Loudoun United win, DC United and Spirit lose, and more: Monday Freedom Kicks
Happy Monday, everyone. It was a perfect weekend weather wise, so let’s recap what happened on the soccer field!
DC Power shows grit in home win over Dallas Trinity (DP)
DC Power got a 1-0 win over Dallas Trinity to keep their place above the playoff line in the USL Super League.
Loudoun United closed out their season with a wild win over Brooklyn FC. Their season ends with a 6W-11L-13D record.
DC United’s playoffs hopes dwindle with home loss to FC Cincinnati (DP)
DC United sees their playoff hopes hit life support as they lose 2-0 to FC Cincinnati at home. They now need to win out and they need some help if they want to catch the final playoff spot.
What a chaotic first half of the game. Sadly, the Spirit could not get back to level, and they need at least a draw next weekend against Chicago to clinch a quarterfinal home game. A win and a San Diego loss would give the Spirit second place and a chance to play at home for the entire postseason. They no longer can catch Gotham for the NWSL Shield.
RIP Rodman Rule, 2026-2026. The criteria needed to go…now go lift the salary cap.
Mbappé double gives Madrid Clasico win over Barcelona (ESPN)
HALA. Real Madrid wins El Clásico and makes the top of the La Liga standings much tighter.
Nashville SC win 2026 Supporters’ Shield (SixOneFive)
Congratulations to Nashville SC, who clinched the Supporters’ Shield on Saturday. They still have a chance to set the MLS points record. They just need 4 points from their final 3 matches.
Man City’s 100% WSL start ended by Man Utd (BBC)
Man City had a perfect start to the WSL season, but that has ended with a draw against Man U.
Vincent Kompany to miss ‘weeks, not days’ with virus treatment, say Bayern Munich (The Guardian)
All the best to Vincent Kompany on his recovery. He collapsed at training on Friday and was taken to the hospital. It sounds like he will have a recovery that will take a few weeks, but hopefully he’s back at 100% soon.
Enjoy the day, y’all.
