Leon Flach scored the winner as the Philadelphia Union advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals of the 2022 MLS Cup Playoffs.
Philadelphia managed to close it out deep into extra time of the second half, and Flach and Blake both deserved plaudits for Man of the Match nominees – Flach with his eventual game-winning curling strike and Blake for saving all five Cincinnati shots that were on target.
