This past weekend was a crucial one for Eastern Conference teams. The schedule gave us several showdowns where two Eastern Conference teams were directly battling each other for points. While every game is important regardless of opponent there is an added element of importance when playing a conference foe. That made this weekend extra spicy, 5 games played between Eastern Conference teams, including the Fire vs Revs. Orlando was the only one left out as they hosted the Galaxy.
Philadelphia 0–2 New York City FC
The Union went into this one with zero wins in their first five games this year and failed to win yet again.
