Philadelphia Union defeated struggling FC Cincinnati 2-0 thanks to Kacper Przybylko and Fafa Picault.
MLS newcomers Cincinnati were left without a win in six matches following Wednesday's trip to Pennsylvania, where the Union moved level atop the Eastern Conference.
Neither team could be separated in the first half at Talen Energy Stadium but Philadelphia took control following the interval.
Polish striker Przybylko opened the scoring with a glancing header in the 63rd minute and Picault doubled the lead seven minutes later.
