Matchday 15 in Group D delivered a mix of chaos, comebacks, and collapse. From a new leader at the top to some dramatic plunges toward the bottom, the group is living up to its reputation as the league's most unpredictable.
🏆 TOP OF THE TABLE: DC United Back On Top
-
DC United (USA) reclaims 1st place after a 3-match winning streak, now sitting at 40 points. With a staggering 54 goals scored, their attack is unmatched, and their home form (8W, 0D) is flawless.
-
AEK Athens (GRE) drops one spot despite not losing, now 2nd with 38 points. They’re unbeaten in 9 but drawing more lately. Still, their away record remains elite (7W, 1D).
-
Pyramids FC (EGY) rises 1 spot to 3rd. After a slight dip, they responded strongly with another win and boast the best defensive record in the top 5 (24 conceded).
-
Cusco FC (PER) slips 1 spot to 4th despite winning, illustrating how tight the top 4 really is. They remain level on points with Pyramids.
-
San Martín (PER) holds steady in 5th, thanks to solid home form (15 goals, 15 points). They’re unbeaten in their last 3 and trending positively.
📈 RISING TEAMS: Big Climbs & Resurgence
-
Cesar Vallejo (PER) jumps 6 spots to 12th with 2 straight wins and a sturdy defense. Their rise puts them just outside the qualification zone.
-
Silkeborg (DEN) continues their quiet climb, now 13th after 3 wins in 5. They have a positive goal difference and are closing in on the top 10.
-
Broncos (HON) climb 5 places to 16th after consecutive victories. Their home form has saved their season so far.
-
Binacional (PER) up 4 spots to 20th, showing signs of life. Three wins in their last five has them clawing out of danger.
📉 FALLING TEAMS: Cold Streaks & Freefall
-
Wolfsburg (GER) plummets 7 spots to 9th after back-to-back losses. Their defense has crumbled recently (37 GA total), and they’ve lost 3 of their last 5.
-
Real Sociedad (SPA) sinks 7 places to 28th, now with the second-worst defensive record in the group (41 goals conceded). A shadow of their early-season form.
-
Spartanni (MC) drops 5 spots to 18th, losing 4 of their last 5. Their defense (38 conceded) is costing them dearly.
-
Kashima Antlers (JAP) fall 6 spots to 26th. Another painful loss has left them in freefall mode.
-
Lokomotiv Moscow (RUS) now sits dead last (32nd) after a disastrous loss. They’ve lost 5 straight and have the worst GD in the group (-26).
🔥 In-Form Teams
-
DC United – 3 wins in a row, 54 goals in 15 matches

-
Silkeborg – 3W in 5, only 2 goals conceded in that span

🔥 The Playoff Race (Top 16 Cutoff)
-
The top 5 seems solidifying, but spots 6 through 16 are wide open. Just 5 points separate Sydney FC (6th) from Broncos (16th).
-
Teams like Cesar Vallejo, Silkeborg, and Liverpool are circling the cutoff and can leap in with one good week.
🧨 Relegation Watch
-
The bottom five are now:
28. Real Sociedad
29. Alianza Atletico
