Scoreless Draw in Nashville, Gazdag Goal Help Union Clinch Playoff Berth
Daniel Gazdag’s winner for New England and a resilient road point pushed Philadelphia into the MLS Cup playoffs for the third straight season.
- On Wednesday, October 28, 2026, the Philadelphia Union clinched a 2026 MLS Cup playoff berth following a 0-0 draw against Nashville SC, secured after New England defeated the New York Red Bulls 3-2.
- Interim manager Ryan Richter has orchestrated a dramatic turnaround, leading the Union to a 12-1-4 record since taking charge after the team's difficult start during the World Cup break.
- Dealing with injuries to Milan Iloski and Cavan Sullivan, and a suspension for Bruno Damiani, Richter fielded a depleted squad against rotated Nashville opposition in a match dominated by defensive play.
- The Union currently hold sixth place in the Eastern Conference with 47 points, sitting three points behind fifth-place Charlotte, which recently defeated Montreal.
- Richter emphasized maintaining momentum ahead of Saturday's match at FC Cincinnati, stating the team must "keep the way that we've been going" to finish strong.
