2025 Audi MLS Cup Playoffs

First round is almost wrapped up (just the NYCFC “are we ever going to play this game” tomorrow) and not a single away team has gotten a result in the first game.

NYCFC you know what to do.

odds are definitely against us considering our head to head vs charlotte but this team is definitely capable. i choose to believe!

Has this ever happened before?
So far every single matchup in the playoffs has been won by the home team.
There have been exactly 0 upsets in any of the matches, all the top conference teams have won (at home) so far.

first "upset" will be tonight.

tbf - most games have been pretty tight aside from miami and vancouver. so those game 1 results could have gone either way.

didn't do the research or anything but as I said in another post, several higher seeds were knocked out the first round last year.

Minnesota vs Seattle in particular felt like a total toss-up, though maybe I’m just undervaluing Minnesota’s style. Seattle played well and threw everything they had at them, yet still couldn’t break through. It’s impressive how strong the Loons’ defense is, but it’s wild that their entire game plan seems to rely on scoring from a set piece or holding on for a 0–0 draw and winning in penalties. It’ll be interesting to see how far they can take that.

I mean not that I have that much confidence in scoring from free kicks, but I like our chances with freese in goal if we decide to play for PKs
