As the MLS season enters its stretch, the Philadelphia Union continue to show off its dominance.

The Union on Saturday became the first Eastern Conference team to secure a playoff berth after a 1-0 road victory over Cincinnati, making it the second overall MLS team to punch its ticket into the playoffs along with San Diego FC of the Western Conference.

The Union lead MLS with 57 total points, four points ahead of San Diego in the Supporters' Shield standings in the race for the MLS' most total points. Five MLS regular-season games remain for the Union, starting Sept. 13 at home against the Vancouver Whitecaps at Subaru Park.

After a U.S. Open Cup match against Nashville on Sept. 16, the Union's next MLS regular-season game will come against the under-.500 New England Revolution on Sept.
