Cavan Sullivan leads Philadelphia Union to victory over Red Bull New York
Philadelphia Union's 16-year-old Cavan Sullivan scored a goal in a 3-1 victory over Red Bull New York, extending the Union's unbeaten MLS run to seven matches. Sullivan's performance has drawn attention regarding a potential call-up to the United States Men's National Team (USMNT) as coach Mauricio Pochettino prepares for upcoming international fixtures.
With three goals and seven assists this season, Sullivan has matched Freddy Adu's MLS record for the most goal contributions in a single season by a player aged 16 or younger. He has also recorded a goal contribution in four consecutive matches, equaling a record for players under 18 held by Ricardo Pepi and Diego Fagundez.
The Union's victory continues a strong period for the club, which has maintained a dominant recent head-to-head record against Red Bull New York.
