Cavan Sullivan Steals the Show (Again) ⚡

The 15-year-old phenom just keeps raising the bar. In Philadelphia Union II’s clash with Chattanooga FC, Cavan Sullivan delivered a clinical brace, bringing his season tally to five goals.

It was a thrilling performance that reaffirmed why he’s considered one of the most generational prospects to come out of the American system in years. Just days removed from making his first MLS start, Sullivan continues to play with a maturity well beyond his age.

Personal Milestones in the Same Match

The action didn’t stop there. Chattanooga FC’s Gavin Turner opened the scoring with a calm, composed finish — his first professional goal, and a moment he’ll never forget. Union II’s Malik Jakupovic quickly answered back, scoring his third in four matches and proving he’s one of the most in-form forwards in MLS NEXT Pro right now.
