CHESTER, PA (AP) — Bruno Damiani scored in the 71st minute for his sixth goal of the season, Andre Blake made a key save in stoppage time, and the Philadelphia Union beat the New England Revolution 1-0 on Saturday.
Philadelphia (18-7-6), which had lost two straight games for the first time since July, extended its league-leading points total to 60.
New England (8-15-8), which let go of head coach Caleb Porter on Monday, was eliminated from playoff contention under interim Pablo Moreira.
On the lone goal, Milan Iloski raced past the defense for a through ball, and he cut it back to Damiani at the penalty spot for a guided shot inside the far post.
New England was reduced to 10 men in the 75th minute when Peyton Miller received a straight red card for poor sportsmanship after throwing the ball at Tai Baribo and shouldering Quinn Sullivan to the ground.
