"NYFC goalkeeper Matt Freese. Mandatory Credit: John Jones-Imagn Images PHILADELPHIA, PANYCFC were lackluster in the final away game of the regular season. Matt Freese played well, but aside from the Montgomery County native, there were few individual bright spots. The Philadelphia Union scraped a 1-0 victory to clinch their second Eastern Conference and Supporters Shield title on Saturday night at Subaru Park."
"The action started promptly, with a huge miss in the opening minute for Alonso Martinez. Martinez was sprung through on goal by a great Hannes Wolf pass. The Tico rounded the keeper and had a lot of real estate to work with. A big chance wasted. Union quickly countered and worked themselves a corner. Milan Illoski tested Freese early on his homecoming with a placed shot down to the keeper's left."

Alonso Martinez squandered an early one-on-one chance, and Hannes Wolf missed a clear opportunity from close range later in the half. Freese denied multiple Union attempts, including efforts from Bruno Damiani, but the hosts’ dominance ultimately proved decisive in clinching the titles.
