Eight teams shuffled around the Eastern Conference Standings this week, and six of those were above the red line including Philadelphia Union. With only two matches remaining, seeding is everything as the season winds down.
Red Bulls remain on top, Union fall
Union’s reign at fourth in the East came to an end after their 3-2 loss to New York Red Bulls on Saturday. Philadelphia, who is winless in their last five matches, now find themselves in unfamiliar territory this season as they sit just above the red line with 42 points. Union have a three point lead over seventh-placed New England in addition to a commanding edge over the Revolution with a goal differential of 13.
