Decision Day! That, anyway, is how Major League Soccer chose to brand their final day of the season. In a move reminiscent of the Premier League, every match on Sunday kicked off simultaneously within each conference. And indeed there was still much to be decided heading into the final regular season matches including the Supporters Shield, four playoff spots, and the league’s Golden Boot. As always, we’re here to get you caught up on everything you need to know. Here are the five most interesting things to happen in MLS this week:

The New York Red Bulls are your 2015 MLS Supporters Shield winners as the club eked out a narrow 2-1 win on the last day over the Chicago Fire to win the trophy for the second time in three years. It was quite an amazing feat considering the crazy offseason the club endured, firing their coach, losing two club legends, and having their supporters up-in-arms over it all. Somehow Jesse Marsch pulled the team together and turned them into the best club in the league this season. Now, the real challenge begins as the Red Bulls faithful won’t be content until they win their first ever MLS Cup.
2. Revolution clinch final Eastern conference playoff spot

With their 3-1 win on the final day of the season against NYCFC, the New England Revolution became the last team in the East to wrap up a playoff spot. They eliminated expansion side Orlando City SC, who made a valiant run at the postseason in their first season in the league. Even though New England were the last team to clinch a spot, they were able to leapfrog over Toronto FC in the final standings to finish fifth in the East.
