# MLS & Liga MX Results & Goal Scorers: Oct 21, 2026

> Every MLS and Liga MX score and goal scorer from Wednesday Oct 21, 2026, as América win 5-2 at Atlas and Cincinnati beat D.C., plus table impact and US replays.

Updated 2026-10-22.

**Wednesday's headlines: América won 5-2 at Atlas to go four points clear at the top of Liga MX, Monterrey won 4-1 at Puebla, and FC Cincinnati beat D.C. United 2-1 to climb to eighth in the East.** Cruz Azul won 2-1 at Pachuca with a late penalty, Santos beat ten-man Pumas 2-0, and Toluca and Tijuana drew 2-2.

Every score, scorer and minute below was checked against two sources (ESPN and FotMob), and they agree on all of them. The one difference is a name: both list Tijuana's second scorer as Jonathan Padilla, but ESPN's play-by-play calls him Yael Padilla. All six games from Wednesday Oct 21 (Pacific time) are final. The European midweek is in our [Champions League recap for Oct 21](https://howtowatchsoccerusa.com/guides/champions-league-results-goal-scorers-oct-21-2026/), and Tuesday's games are in our [Liga MX recap for Oct 20](https://howtowatchsoccerusa.com/guides/liga-mx-results-goal-scorers-oct-20-2026/).
