Your Sunday Kickoff: DC and Sporting KC wake up, LAFC host Messi & Miami tonight

What happened?: Mounsef Bakrar scored for the second-straight game, but Ryan Gauld converted a penalty to cancel it out and Vancouver took an important road point.

So, did we learn anything?: Road points are good points. Vancouver got the job done and ended the night in sixth place. NYCFC didn’t hold onto the lead and finished the night in 12th place when they could have been equal on points for 10th. Still, if Bakrar is going to keep finding the net, we can’t count out NYCFC yet. They’ve played an extra game, but they’re only three points below ninth place.
