Frisco, Texas here they come. The Philadelphia Union U15 team advanced to the finals of the Generation adidas Cup on Monday with a 1-0 win over Atlanta United in Atlanta.
Center back Jackson Gilman scored the game’s only goal in the first minute off a corner kick from Quinn Sullivan and the defense did the rest of the work to keep Atlanta United off the board and book a spot in the eight-team finals with three other MLS teams and four from Liga MX.
“Everyone worked so hard to get to this point, if we didn’t win that game it would have been so hard on us,” goalkeeper Owen Moore said after the match.
