Week 25 Power Rankings
Week 25 gave RSL a chance to earn six points with two games at Rio Tinto Stadium. In the first match of the week, RSL topped the San Jose Earthquakes 4-0 before a weekend rivalry matchup with Colorado saw RSL score another four goals as they toppled the Rapids 4-1. During this time FW Luis Silva became the fifth player to score in four straight matches and just the second to score in four straight MLS matches. Was RSL’s eight-goal week enough to garner a rise in this week’s rankings? Check out the latest rankings and tell us what you think below:

“The flair that they displayed over the last week has to be exciting for a club that struggled to start the year. Will it be enough to get them above the playoff line?”

“RSL is turning into a compelling story. A 4-0 win over San Jose and then a 4-1 win against Colorado. Plenty of confidence in Mike Petke's side right now.”

“Last week’s narrow loss at Montreal didn’t affect this team’s mentality going into a two-game homestand this week. RSL was utterly dominant in both games, dispatching San Jose 4–0 before getting a 4–1 win over rival Colorado that secured this year’s edition of the Rocky Mountain Cup. Once an afterthought, RSL is now looking like a legit contender for a playoff berth.”
