Cavan Sullivan leads Philadelphia Union to 2-0 win over CF Montréal

The Philadelphia Union defeated CF Montréal 2-0 at Subaru Park, extending their unbeaten streak to eight games and moving into an MLS Cup playoff position. Danley Jean Jacques opened the scoring in the 57th minute, followed by a goal from 16-year-old Cavan Sullivan in the 75th minute.

Sullivan’s performance set a new MLS record as the first teenager to record a goal contribution in five consecutive matches. He also surpassed Freddy Adu’s long-standing benchmark for the most goal contributions by a 16-year-old in a single season, reaching 11 contributions. Following his goal, Sullivan performed a viral celebration mimicking LeBron James’s signature chalk toss.

In off-field news, Sullivan’s rising profile has impacted the sports memorabilia market. A 1/1 Topps Chrome MLS Rookie Debut Patch Autograph card of the player recently sold at auction for $324,000, setting a new record for the most expensive MLS card ever sold.
