52 v 44

Report

The Houston SaberCats travel to Colorado to face the Raptors at Infinity Park. With a combined score of 96pts, this match was the highest scoring of the 2019 season and the highest scoring MLR game ever at the time, surpassing the previous record of 95pts set just the week before in a 31-64 clash between the Utah Warriors and Toronto Arrows. Raptors winger John Ryberg recorded a hattrick in this game, this first of his career, 2nd in Raptors franchise history, and 5th in MLR history.

This game remained the highest scoring MLR game until late in the 2022 season, and was still the 3rd highest scoring match in MLR history as of the conclusion of the 2023 season.
