MLS: Inter Miami reach play-offs as Philadelphia Union win Supporters´ Shield

Inter Miami secured a spot in the MLS play-offs on Sunday, while Philadelphia Union clinched the Supporters’ Shield.

In their first season in MLS, Inter Miami reached the play-offs after a 2-1 win over FC Cincinnati on Decision Day.

Mikey Ambrose’s 25-yard strike in the 19th minute gave Diego Alonso’s side the lead before Leandro Gonzalez Pirez doubled the advantage with a header.

Joe Gyau’s brilliant goal halved the deficit for Cincinnati in the 66th minute, but Inter Miami held on despite Andres Reyes’ red card.

Philadelphia won the first trophy in their history, securing the Supporters’ Shield thanks to a 2-0 win over New England Revolution.

Sergio Santos and Cory Burke scored either side of half-time for the Union, who finished three points clear of Toronto atop the Eastern Conference.

Philadelphia won all nine of their home matches during the 2020 MLS season, tied for the second-longest single-season home winning streak in league history.

Toronto were chasing Philadelphia but fell to a 2-1 loss to New York Red Bulls.

Montreal Impact also secured a play-off place thanks to a come-from-behind 3-2 win over DC United.

DC led twice as Donovan Pines and Ola Kamara had goals cancelled out by Bojan Krkic and Victor Wanyama respectively.

But Romell Quioto tapped in an 88th-minute winner for the Impact, who had Samuel Piette sent off in additional time.
