Julian Carranza scored the first goal and assisted the second two minutes apart, and the Philadelphia Union booked a spot in their first MLS Cup by rallying from an early second-half deficit to a 3–1 victory over the visiting New York City FC in the Eastern Conference Final on Sunday, Oct. 30.
Daniel Gazdag and Cory Burke also scored for the top-seeded Union (19–5–10, 67 points), who avenged a 2–1 defeat to NYCFC in last year’s East final, in which Philadelphia played without 11 players because of a cluster of COVID-19 cases.
