Philadelphia Union defeat Toronto FC 4-1 to secure playoff seeding

Philadelphia Union Toronto FC MLS Cup Playoffs Cavan Sullivan Alejandro Bedoya

The Philadelphia Union concluded their 2026 MLS regular season with a 4-1 victory over Toronto FC at Subaru Park. The win secures the 6th seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs for the Union, helping them avoid the play-in tournament.

Key performances came from the Sullivan brothers, with Quinn Sullivan scoring a goal and an assist, while Cavan Sullivan contributed significantly to the offensive buildup. Bruno Damiani added a penalty to finalize the score. Toronto FC, who had already been eliminated from playoff contention, managed a single goal from Josh Sargent, marking his tenth goal of the season.

The match also served as a tribute to Union captain Alejandro Bedoya, who was honored following his recent retirement announcement. Bedoya participated in ceremonial duties before stepping away from professional soccer at the end of the season.
