"Maxi Moralez produced yet another play-off goal against Philadelphia Union as a depleted New York City FC (NYCFC) produced a textbook away performance to stun the Supporters' Shield champions 1-0 at Subaru Park and reach the Eastern Conference final for the first time since 2022."
"Pascal Jansen, meanwhile, produced yet another tactical masterclass, deploying Kevil O'Toole and Jonny Shore in midfield to cover for the injured Andres Perea and the suspended Aiden O'Neill, a decision which paid dividends in the first half as NYCFC often suffocated Union and prevented the hosts from building any momentum."
New York City FC beat Philadelphia Union 1-0 at Subaru Park to reach the Eastern Conference final for the first time since 2022. Maxi Moralez scored after latching onto a first-time pass from Nicolas Fernandez, who deputized up front for the injured Alonso Martinez and pulled the strings throughout. Pascal Jansen adjusted the midfield by starting Kevil O'Toole and Jonny Shore to cover for Andres Perea and the suspended Aiden O'Neill, a change that stifled Union's momentum. NYCFC dominated possession early, with Matt Freese making late saves as the visitors withstood a late Union siege to preserve the clean sheet.
