MLS Matchday 8 was quite the spectacle. Brian White of the Vancouver Whitecaps scored four goals against Austin FC, and Inter Miami drew against the Chicago Fire at a record Soldier Field sellout.
Vancouver is looking like a legitimate MLS Cup contender so far, but Minnesota United is gaining ground in the Western Conference. Looking at the Eastern Conference, the Columbus Crew is emerging as the team to beat, but Charlotte and Cincinnati are right behind.
Despite it being Easter Weekend, there are plenty of matches to keep you glued to the screen on Saturday. With the MLS Season Pass, you can catch all of the action for MLS Matchday 9 on Apple TV.
