Sullivan picked up the ball in the middle of the pitch, took a touch and hit an absolute screamer to double the Union’s lead against the Columbus Crew ll on Saturday. Even the goalkeeper came to celebrate the teenager’s goal.
The Union went on to score two more goals in the match, defeating the Crew 4-0 and taking home the Eastern Conference Championship trophy in their qualification to the final of the tournament.
Sullivan has had an outstanding MLS Next Pro season, making 21 appearances (16 starts), scoring five goals and providing four assists.
These type of performances have catapulted the 15-year-old into first-team activities, with Sullivan making his MLS debut and becoming the youngest-ever player to step onto the pitch in the history of the league.
Sullivan and the Philadelphia Union ll will play North Texas in the MLS Next Pro final on Saturday, Nov. 9.
