Cavan Sullivan's stardom continues to rise. The day after his 15th birthday, Sullivan was the architect of a comeback win in a 2-1 victory over Atlanta United 2. In the final minutes of the match, Cavan Sullivan equalized after a good run by Neil Pierre who sent a cross into the box and Edward Davis set up Sullivan who finished with a fierce shot with his left foot.

Sullivan, named Man of the Match on Sunday, scored his fourth goal of the MLS NEXT Pro season. He has also added four assists in 2024, playing 1,069 minutes.

The strong performances from young Americans continued this weekend. 2008-born defender Isaiah Kaakoush was a hero in his debut for North Texas, scoring a late equalizer in the 90+1 minute to tie the score and send the team to a penalty shootout with a subsequent victory.

Furthermore, Nimfasha Berchimas scored his sixth goal of the season for Crown Legacy. In the 17th minute, the young forward finished in great fashion inside the box to open the scoring in Crown Legacy's game against Inter Miami II. For Miami, 2007-born center forward Mateo Saja scored his first professional goal in the 76th minute.

New York Red Bulls II forward Tanner Rosborough has had a fantastic season. Rosborough scored his seventh goal of the season yesterday and was key to the Red Bulls' victory against New England Revolution II.

In a thrilling 3-2 contest, Harbor Miller made a memorable impact by scoring his first-ever professional goal, a personal milestone despite Ventura County's narrow loss to St. Louis City SC 2.

While the result didn't go Ventura County's way, the team found a second goal through the in-form Ruben Ramos, who netted his eighth goal of the season. Ramos' consistent goal-scoring has made him a key player for Ventura County, further solidifying his role as an attacking threat. His ability to find the back of the net regularly has been a driving force for the team, even in tough matches like this one.

In the highly anticipated U-18 clash between Orlando City and Inter Miami, the match lived up to expectations with a thrilling 2-1 result in favor of Orlando City.

However, Orlando City responded, refusing to let the early setback define their performance. Just before halftime, Justin Ellis found the back of the net in the 45th minute, leveling the score and shifting momentum in favor of Orlando City.

In the second half, the battle continued, with both teams pushing for the lead. The decisive moment arrived in the 63rd minute when Gustavo Caraballo scored the game-winning goal for Orlando City.
