17-Year-Old Cavan Sullivan Scores Twice as Philadelphia Union Beat Toronto 4-1 to Lock Up East's No. 6 Seed
CHESTER, Pa. — The Philadelphia Union closed the MLS regular season with a 4-1 win over Toronto FC at Subaru Park in Chester, Delaware County, on November 7, as 17-year-old Cavan Sullivan stole the show with two goals on Decision Day.
Sullivan won and converted a penalty in the second half, and one of his goals was assisted by his older brother, Quinn Sullivan; the two became just the third pair of brothers in MLS history to score for the same club in the same match. The performance pushed Sullivan's season totals to nine goals and 14 assists — 23 goal contributions, the most by a teenager in a single season in MLS history. He was substituted in the 90th minute after an 82nd-minute collision with Toronto's Richard Chukwu, though interim head coach Ryan Richter said the injury did not appear serious.
The win secured the Eastern Conference's No. 6 seed for Philadelphia, which will face the No. 3 seed New England Revolution in a Round One Best-of-3 series. Sullivan next joins the U.S. men's national team for the Concacaf Nations League quarterfinals against Haiti, having already become the youngest goalscorer in program history.
