Atlanta United essentially handed the Eastern Conference title to NYCFC after losing to the Philadelphia Union, a team of such fraudulence that it managed to lose its grip on first place in the East despite not playing any games over the past game week. All in all, the match against the Philadelphia Union was the kind of thing that happens when a team plays eight games in a month. After winning two trophies in pretty convincing and thrilling style, Atlanta went to Chester and played 60 minutes of solid, if not wasteful-in-front-of-goal soccer. Sadly, 60 minutes was not enough and Philly ran off with the game and a chance to finish second in the East in the last 30 minutes.
