Philadelphia Union vs New York City FC Highlights, MLS Cup Playoffs: New York City FC marched into the MLS Eastern Conference Finals with a gritty 1-0 win over Supporters’ Shield winners Philadelphia Union at Subaru Park, keeping their MLS Cup dream alive. Maxi Moralez delivered the decisive moment in the 27th minute, finishing off a slick team move to silence the home crowd. Philadelphia threw everything at NYC, with Matt Freese producing big saves before the visitors almost doubled their lead when Nicolás Fernández Mercau nearly caught Andre Blake off his line from inside his own half. Blake’s desperate goalline recovery left him injured and forced off, but even with the Union piling on late pressure, NYC’s back line and Freese held firm. The Cityzens now move on to face Messi’s Inter Miami on Nov. 29, one win away from the MLS Cup final.
