In the first MLS playoff game of the day, the New York Red Bulls took a 1-0 lead against FC Cincinnati with a goal by Tom Barlow, a Chaminade graduate and Scott Gallagher product. However, Cincinnati came back and won the game 8-7 on penalty kicks after a 1-1 tie. The goal that would have given Cincinnati the win in regulation was wiped out. Cincinnati, the number one team in the East, is the first team to advance to the second round. In another match, Sporting Kansas City defeated St. Louis City 2-1, ending St. Louis City's season.
