Philadelphia Soccer Now @phlsoccernow.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

51' | UNION GOAL! Not too far for Iloski to think about it. A shot from outside the box is just out of the keeper's reach. His third goal of the night, and what a goal! Union 4-0 Orlando

041

Philadelphia Soccer Now @phlsoccernow.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

47' | UNION GOAL! Bueno passes it to Vassilev, and his left-footed shot goes in off a deflection. Union 3-0 Orlando

020

Philadelphia Soccer Now @phlsoccernow.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

19' | UNION GOAL! Iloski makes it two. A through ball from Vassilev on the left side leaves Iloski with just the keeper to beat. Union up by two now! Union 2-0 Orlando

Philadelphia Soccer Now @phlsoccernow.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

11' | UNION GOAL! Iloski is flawless from the spot. The keeper dives the other way. Union 1-0 Orlando

Philadelphia Soccer Now @phlsoccernow.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Griezmann, who was questionable, starts for Orlando. Orlando is down Ellis, but it won’t be easy for the Union tonight

Full time USMNT 4 - 1 Peru. Decisive win for USMNT in a big day for the Union and local soccer. 5 Union homegrowns took part in this one, as well as 6 players from the Philadelphia area. What a day for Philly soccer!

030

Philadelphia Soccer Now @phlsoccernow.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Union lineup is out. Rick comes in for Blake, Bueno in for Danley. Notably, Ben Bender gets a start at right-back. 😅

Philadelphia Soccer Now @phlsoccernow.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Griffin and Uzcátegui earn short term call-ups! Would be the first MLS action for both should they appear tonight.

061

Philadelphia Soccer Now @phlsoccernow.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Neil Pierre comes on to make his USMNT debut! He joins Frankie Westfield and Cavan as the third active Union player to make their debut tonight. Great achievement for the 18-year-old Pierre!

0100

Philadelphia Soccer Now @phlsoccernow.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Frankie Westfield coming in at the 76th minute for his debut. What an ascent up the ranks over the last two years for Frankie!

052

Philadelphia Soccer Now @phlsoccernow.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Cavan comes off at the 60’ line change. Bright start for him in his debut. Created 2 chances and led the match in touches in the opponent’s box (7). It wasn’t a takeover, but he belonged on the field at only 16 years old.

031

Philadelphia Soccer Now @phlsoccernow.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

That may be it for Cavan Sullivan in his USMNT debut, with both teams allowed 11 subs in this friendly. If that was all his time, he made an impression, growing into the game in the last 15 mins of the half and demanding the ball. Nearly had an assist to Ellis. Bright start!

050

Philadelphia Soccer Now @phlsoccernow.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Cavan getting into it with Peru players after the whistle. Gallese spilled the rebound and Cavan came in late, making contact with the head of Gallese. He was pushed from behind by a Peru defender, but will receive a yellow card nonetheless

020

Philadelphia Soccer Now @phlsoccernow.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Cavan STARTS in his first USMNT match! Freese, Trusty, and Chester-born George Campbell start alongside Cavan. Huge day for the local game and USMNT!

Philadelphia Union lineup tonight Andre Blake; Kai Wagner, Nathan Harriel, Neil Pierre, Frankie Westfield; Danley Jean Jacques, Jovan Lukić, Cavan Sullivan, Indiana Vassilev; Bruno Damiani, Milan Iloski.

Philadelphia Soccer Now @phlsoccernow.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

As best as we can tell the 3 senior call-ups (Cavan, Neil and Frankie) is the most for active Philadelphia Union players since Alejandro Bedoya, Chris Pontius and Keegan Rosenberry were called into the January Camp in 2017. Bedoya and Pontius played but Rosenberry did not.

Philadelphia Soccer Now @phlsoccernow.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

The Philadelphia Union has $4,665,679 in 2026 general allocation money left to spend, most in MLS, according to data released by the league. #DOOP What should they do with it?

Cavan was three when Jack McInerney scored this goal for the Philadelphia Union against LA Galaxy. #DOOP www.youtube.com/watch?v=igqc...

The Union currently sit in 7th at the end of the matchday, good enough for a guaranteed playoff spot, above the 8/9 seed play in.

061

Philadelphia Soccer Now @phlsoccernow.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

FT - The final whistle blows and it’s another 5-0 battering for the Union! That’s back to back 5-0 wins in MLS, extending their 10-match unbeaten run in which they are 8-2-0. Unbelievable night for Philly!

1172

Philadelphia Soccer Now @phlsoccernow.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

90+4’ - IT’S A FIRST GOAL FOR MALIK JAKUPOVIC! Quinn is in down the wing, and his cross deflects straight into the path of Malik Jakupovic for his first MLS goal! What a moment! [5-0]

070

Philadelphia Soccer Now @phlsoccernow.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

90’ - Alladoh is in on goal, and Verhoeven pulls him back. Just a yellow, and perhaps lucky there. But the Union haven’t needed the ref’s benefit of the doubt tonight. [4-0]

020

Philadelphia Soccer Now @phlsoccernow.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

86’ - GOAL…? The Union swing a corner in. Alladoh flicks on, and Godoy’s attempt to clear flies straight in past Ferree. That’s a weird own goal, but they all count the same! [4-0]

130

Philadelphia Soccer Now @phlsoccernow.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

85’ - Final subs for the Union. Jakupovic comes in for Iloski, and Japhet Sery Larsen comes in for Harriel. No goal for Harriel tonight, but a solid performance. [3-0]

100

Philadelphia Soccer Now @phlsoccernow.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

81’ - SD bring on Dagur Dan Thorhalsson for Ian Murphy. [3-0]

010

Philadelphia Soccer Now @phlsoccernow.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

77’ - More changes for the U. Bruno comes off for Alladoh, and Bueno comes on for Cavan. 4 goals in 2 matches for Bruno, and 2 goals and an MLS assist for Cavan tonight. Not too shabby. [3-0]

020

Philadelphia Soccer Now @phlsoccernow.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

73’ - Sub for SD. Achouri makes way for the young Zamblé. [3-0]

000

Philadelphia Soccer Now @phlsoccernow.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

70’ - First sub for the Union. Indy comes off after a great shift for Quinn. [3-0]

010

Philadelphia Soccer Now @phlsoccernow.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

67’ - THREE OF THE BEST! Cavan has the ball again in transition. He plays Frankie on the overlap, who pulls back to Bruno for an easy goal! It’s a great team goal by the Union! Wow! [3-0]

051

Philadelphia Soccer Now @phlsoccernow.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

62’ - GOAL UNION! BRACE FOR CAVAN! Wagner, Vassilev, and Cavan play with it in possession on the left. Vassilev slips Cavan in, and he finishes low through Ferree at a tight angle! What a game for Cav! [2-0]

081

Philadelphia Soccer Now @phlsoccernow.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

60’ - Subs coming in for SD. Godoy, Bakambu, and Union homegrown David Vazquez are on for Alvarado, Pellegrino, and Valakari. [1-0]

000

Philadelphia Soccer Now @phlsoccernow.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

52’ - OFF THE BAR! So unlucky for Iloski! Damiani plays Milan through, and he’s all alone so he takes Duah on. It’s a great shot, but it hits the crossbar and doesn’t go in! [1-0]

010

Philadelphia Soccer Now @phlsoccernow.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

46’ - The Union kick off and the second half is underway! [1-0]

020

Philadelphia Soccer Now @phlsoccernow.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

Here is Cavan's 6th goal of the season. Ridiculous take from the kid, who is red hot in MLS right now. 🤯

0120

Philadelphia Soccer Now @phlsoccernow.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

HT - Union go into half up 1-0 via an UNREAL Cavan Sullivan goal. 5 matches in a row with a goal contribution for the kid. Halftime thoughts, Union fans?

2111

Philadelphia Soccer Now @phlsoccernow.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

45+4’ - GOAL CAVAN SULLIVAN! WHAT A FINISH! Vassilev dashes down the left and pulls back for Cavan, who puts a brilliant backheel off the far post and in! What an unreal finish! [1-0]

091

Philadelphia Soccer Now @phlsoccernow.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

45+2’ - CHANCE! Damiani skins his defender to the end line and pulls back for Iloski. His shot is goal bound but Murphy clears on to the post! Unlucky for Milan to get revenge there. [0-0]

020

Philadelphia Soccer Now @phlsoccernow.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

45+1’ - Wow, after review the red card is downgraded to a yellow. That is a bit of a shock, as the kick of the ball to Iloski’s head looked very intentional. [0-0]
