Atlanta United will not be taking part in the first round of the playoff after clinching a bye with Saturday's win, while defending champions Toronto FC is just hoping to sneak in to a first round spot after another crushing loss.
Atlanta used goals from Julian Gressel and Hector Villalba to take a 2-0 win over Real Salt Lake, with the result ensuring that the Five Stripes will finish the season in one of the top-two spots in the Eastern Conference.
Gerardo Martino's side can't finish worst than second in the conference, and could go a long way in long way in locking up the top spot with a win next week against the New York Red Bulls.
