It took just six weeks for a consensus top team to emerge from the pack in the 2019 MLS season. Though several teams can claim to be among the league's elite, just one is undefeated and has a double-digit goal differential. Bob Bradley's LAFC is playing attractive, attacking soccer while showing a ruthlessness that should scare everyone else in the league.

LAFC deserves to crow a bit. Or maybe it "deserves to shriek," because that's what falcons do?

It doesn't quite have the same ring to it, but oh well. Go on and shriek, LAFC.

If "Vela & Rossi" sounds like a fancy aperitif or the makers of bespoke suits to you, good, because it's that sort of class that the pair of attackers provides whenever they step on the field for LAFC. Carlos Vela and Diego Rossi combined early and often for the visitors in a massive, statement-making win in D.C.

The Sounders aren't in first, but they are just three points back of LAFC with one fewer game played and remain one of four unbeaten teams across MLS. Holding onto a win over Real Salt Lake proved to be tougher than it looked on paper and Seattle's high-flying attack has slowed down dramatically over the last two weeks.

Next MLS match: Saturday, April 13, vs. Philadelphia (10:30 p.m. ET, live on ESPN+)

Zlatan Ibrahimovic really did play on turf and the Galaxy parlayed his presence into a win over the Whitecaps on the road in Vancouver. That's three consecutive wins for the Galaxy, a run they managed just once in 2018. If Ibrahimovic is committed to playing whenever healthy, regardless of surface, the Galaxy will be in much better shape to improve on that total.

Next MLS match: Saturday, April 13, at Montreal (1 p.m. ET, live on ESPN+)

There's a ticking clock on the Crew season, counting down to the day goalkeeper Zack Steffen leaves the club to make his European move. Every game Columbus has Steffen on the field is precious because he can help turn a single goal into three points. With the Crew's finishing wanting at the moment, Steffen is saving the Crew.

Next MLS match: Tuesday, April 9, vs. Montreal (8 p.m. ET, live on ESPN+)

LAFC are good enough to beat you on their own, but when you make a habit of turning the ball over in midfield, it's practically like putting the ball in the net for them. The Black & Red's rough home showing against LAFC was made even rougher by Wayne Rooney's red card.

Previous ranking: 6

Next MLS match: Saturday, April 13, vs. San Jose

The Dynamo fell to fourth in the West while sitting idle thanks to wins from the Seattle Sounders and the LA Galaxy. Next week they'll welcome in a San Jose team fresh off its first win of the season.

Previous ranking: 7

Next MLS match: Sunday, April 14, vs. New York Red Bulls

Peter Vermes rotated his lineup for a visit to Cincinnati and left with a point. That's a fine result considering the youth on the field for Sporting -- youth that garnered a confidence boost with the draw. Sporting's goal scorer, Gianluca Busio, became the youngest player in league history to score in back-to-back games.

Previous ranking: 8

Next MLS match: Saturday, April 13, at Seattle (4 p.m. ET, live on ESPN+)

The bad news is that the Reds needed a goal from Jonathan Osorio in the final 15 minutes of the match to secure a point at home against Chicago. The good news is that Alejandro Pozuelo and Jozy Altidore connected for a goal for the second time, entrenching a relationship TFC hopes will prove productive all year long.

Previous ranking: 14

Next MLS match: Saturday, April 13, at LA Galaxy (10:30 p.m. ET, live on ESPN+)

The Union climbed into a tie for second on points in the East with a comeback win against FC Dallas. Credit to Cory Burke for following up Marco Fabian's penalty kick, but it's worth pointing out that Fabian now has two penalty kick misses on the season. Should the obvious choice for penalty taker in Philly be replaced?

Previous ranking: 10

Next MLS match: Saturday, April 13, vs. Portland (8 p.m., live on ESPN+)

Short-handed and playing another gaggle of youngsters, FC Dallas was a bit unlucky not to grab at least a point on the road in Philadelphia. It's hard to blame the inexperience for the failure to see out at least a draw because it was Matt Hedges who committed the penalty that gave the Union a goal, but youth does sometimes have its drawbacks.
