The Philadelphia Union ended a 10-match winless streak with a 5-1 drubbing of the New England Revolution at Subaru Park on Wednesday night, but that won’t be the lasting memory of the match in Chester, Pa..
The victory marked the debut of 14-year-old midfielder Cavan Sullivan, who entered in the 85th minute — mere moments after his oldest brother, Quinn, 20, scored the game’s final goal — and became the youngest player in MLS history, breaking a record set by Freddy Adu with D.C. United in April 2004.
At the time of Adu’s debut, he was 14 years, 306 days old; Sullivan is 14 years, 293 days.
