The first-place Philadelphia Union traveled to Toronto, Canada on Saturday trying to stay atop the East and defeat the one team in the East with more points per game than them.
The Union was almost back to full strength in Toronto, missing only Mark McKenzie, Matt Freese and starting goalkeeper Andre Blake, who is expected to return to play this weekend against the Seattle Sounders at home. Brenden Aaronson also sat out the first 60 minutes of play after a hip injury the week before against last-place New England Revolution.
After grabbing a 2-1 win, te Union still sit in first place in the Eastern Conference with 23 points and a goal differential of 11 goals, putting them ahead of D.
