- Eastern Conference final: Philadelphia Union 1-2 NYC FC
- Talles Magno scores in 88th minute to secure victory
- Portland Timbers will host NYC FC for title game
- Union were without 11 players due to Covid-19 protocols
Substitute Talles Magno scored in the 88th minute and visiting New York City FC rallied to reach their first-ever MLS Cup final with a 2-1 victory over the Philadelphia Union on Sunday afternoon.
Magno – who scored only twice in the regular season – helped NYC FC defeat Philadelphia in the Eastern Conference final on a day they were without MLS Golden Boot winner Valentin Castellanos due to suspension. Castellanos will be able to return for the final in Portland, who defeated Salt Lake in Saturday’s Western Conference title game.
