The Red Bulls edged the Montreal Impact 1-0 to go top of the conference, sealing their place in the post-season.

With that result, Toronto – who were held to a 1-1 draw by the Philadelphia Union – and New York City also secured their spots.

Daniel Royer's first MLS goal was all Jesse Marsch's Red Bulls needed.

The Austrian midfielder headed in a Chris Duvall cross on the hour-mark to secure victory for his team.
