"Their Eastern Conference foes had just clinched the 2025 MLS Supporters' Shield after defeating the Boys in Blue 1-0 through Mikkel Uhre's deflected shot in the 40th minute. However, it is the second loss in five games for the Pigeons, and their top-four spot in the Eastern Conference might be in jeopardy heading into Decision Day in two Saturdays, Oct. 18."
"We missed out on those moments. The playoff atmosphere game, according to City defender Justin Haak, broke the Pigeons' six-match unbeaten road streak, which stretched back to mid-July and a 2-1 win against Orlando. New York's top-four spot in the conference guarantees the first match of a best-of-three series will be played in the five boroughs against a lower-seeded opponent."
NYCFC fell 1-0 to Philadelphia Union via a Mikkel Uhre deflected shot in the 40th minute. The result marked New York's second loss in five matches and ended a six-match unbeaten road run. Head coach Pascal Jansen said the team failed to convert first-half opportunities and missed chances to take the lead. Justin Haak attributed the loss to the playoff-like atmosphere. New York currently sits tied with Charlotte FC on points and goal differential while Nashville and Orlando remain close behind, with all nine postseason spots already secured and Decision Day approaching.
