We said: Philadelphia Union 1-1 New York City FC (Philadelphia advances on penalties)
Both sides are in fine form defensively, and this game could go either way as they are both well-drilled and disciplined with two goalkeepers who have proven they can steal a game. We will give the Union a slight edge because they have home-field advantage, plus they might be a little more motivated given the curveball thrown at them before the East Final last season.
