Sullivan was the man of the match in the final group game of the Concacaf U20 Championship
Another game, a different hero from the Philadelphia Union in the Concacaf U20 Championship.

Sullivan follows Paxten Aaronson, who had a brace in the first game against St. Kitts and Nevis (and assisted on Sullivan’s third goal Wednesday night) and Jack McGlynn, who scored a rocketed equalizer in a draw against Canada as Philadelphia Union players making a mark on the tournament. Brandan Craig nearly found the goal again from open play this time after just missing on a free kick in the game against Canada.

The Round of 16 will kick off on Saturday.
Sullivan wasn’t the only Philadelphia native finding the back of the net Wednesday night. Zion Scarlett, a Columbus Crew II forward, scored for Jamaica in their 2-0 win over Antigua and Barbuda. Scarlett played for the Union Academy and FC Delco before joining the Columbus Crew Academy in 2020.
