Our FIFA 20 simulations return for Week 9, with plenty of action unfolding in the esports world. With real-life matches on pause, heres a sense of how the would-be MLS games could have gone.<\/p>\n
Check out the full video, commentary and standings rundown below.<\/p>\n
It was a rough day for the New England Revolution, who conceded three goals at home against Montreal in a 3-1 defeat. Cristian Penilla bagged a late consolation strike, but it was too little too late.<\/p>\n
The Fire didnt disappoint at Soldier Field and took down LAFC, 3-1. A hat trick from CJ Sapong secured three points and grabbed their second win of the season.<\/p>\n
Philly regained some momentum after falling to NYCFC last week, taking down the Crew 2-0 on the road. Sergio Santos put the game out of reach in the 95th minute, and theyre in a great Eastern Conference spot as we push towards May.<\/p>\n
Minnesota United have been the best team in our FIFA simulations thus far, but their momentum slowed down with a 2-2 draw against Sporting. Theyre still leading the Western Conference and have the simulated games best goal differential (plus 12).<\/p>\n
This battle between two mid-table clubs ended in a 2-2 draw. There was back-and-forth action all match, before Reto Ziegler knocked in the late equalizer for FC Dallas.<\/p>\n
The weeks marquee matchup saw Real Salt Lake jump past Seattle with a 3-1 win at Rio Tinto Stadium. Albert Rusnak again scored, but it was Jordan Morris sumptuous volley in the 93rd minute thatll be played on repeat.<\/p>\n
In one of the weekends more surprising results, Houston took down the Galaxy on the road, 2-0. Mauro Manotas and Tommy McNamara got on the scoresheet, lifting Tab Ramos team to a huge result.<\/p>\n
Orlandos supporters will be wishing this was a real-life result, as Tesho Akindeles tap-in gave the Lions a 1-0 win over their rivals. For Atlanta, their dominance of their fellow Southeast foe comes to a close.<\/p>\n
The Red Bulls remain winless in the FIFA simulations after another defeat, this time dropping a 2-1 result to D.C. United. Perhaps May will see Chris Armas team turn things around.<\/p>\n
Offseason acquisition Jurgen Locadia bagged a brace for FC Cincinnati as they picked up a 2-0 win and advanced up to fourth place in the Eastern Conference. As for San Jose, more woes continue on both sides of the park.<\/p>\n
