Inter Miami have lost five of its past seven, losing touch with the leaders of ESPN's MLS Power Rankings.

Julien Laurens says Javier Mascherano deserves to be under pressure as Inter Miami manager with the club making a poor start to the season.

With Lionel Messi in the final year of his contract with Inter Miami, ESPN provides game-by-game analysis of the World Cup winner's performances.

Marco Reus scored twice, including the game-tying free kick in the 87th minute as the LA Galaxy earned a 2-2 tie with rival LAFC on Sunday night in Carson, California.

A brace from Galaxy's Marco Reus was matched by Nathan Ordaz and Denis Bouanga's golazo for LAFC.
