Mike Grella scored on Philadelphia in just seven seconds.

The Red Bulls and Cosmos earned draws, while NYCFC collapsed late.

The "very fatigued" Red Bulls were dismantled by the Union on Wednesday night.

Goals from Thierry Henry and Lloyd Sam were enough to overcome a Philadelphia penalty kick and a red card for Ibrahim Sekagya.

The Red Bulls couldn't break down the Union and had to settle for a 0-0 draw, while the Cosmos fell 3-0 to the Railhawks.

The Red Bulls, already missing Jamison Olave and Tim Cahill, were reduced to 10 men after a Lloyd Sam red card and failed to land a single shot on target in Philadelphia.

An opening goal from Dax McCarty and some off-the-bench magic from a still-injured Thierry Henry gave new coach Mike Petke his first career win.

The Red Bulls handed Philly a 3-0 thrashing to close the season at PPL Park, setting up a playoff series with a truly hated rival: DC United.

With perfect weather and a raucous crowd, Kenny Cooper finally ended his scoring drought with two goals.

With their fourth straight win, they now sit on top of the Eastern Conference for the first time this season.
