Inescapably Canadian Power Rankings: MLS Week 9/USL Week 7

Alessandro Riggi

For the second week in a row, a Canadian has struck against Fresno FC, the new U.S.-based affiliate of the Vancouver Whitecaps.

Last week, Paris Gee scored for the Tulsa Roughnecks against Fresno; this past weekend, Alessandro Riggi came on as a sub for Phoenix Rising and scored a late equalizer.

But, on the Whitecaps’ first-team front, Brett Levis — a product of the Canadian university soccer system — made his first start in an MLS match, a 2-0 win over Real Salt Lake. Canadian Alphonso Davies also earned a beauty of an assist in the match.

Other notable Canadian performances from the weekend: Jonathan Osorio continues to be red hot; he scored for Toronto FC against Chicago. He is coming off a Golden Boot-winning CONCACAF Champions League, and didn’t show effects of missing his penalty in the shootout against Chivas.

And NCFC’s Kyle Bekker scored in a 3-0 win over Mauro Eustaquio and his Penn FC teammates.

Here are the rankings after the ninth week of MLS play/seventh week of USL action:
