The latest Independence Blue Cross Achievement Unlocked of 2024 took place on Wednesday night as Philadelphia Union battled New England Revolution at Subaru Park for a dominant 5-1 win.
14-year-old midfielder Cavan Sullivan earned his Major League Soccer debut, becoming the youngest athlete to play in a regular season match among the top North American professional sports leagues. He entered the match in the 85th minute, joining his older brother, Quinn Sullivan, who had scored the team's fifth goal one minute prior.
The historic night came less than three months after his momentous signing with the club on May 9, 2024, which made him the youngest player in club history to be added to the first team roster, and the fifth youngest player to sign a first-team contract in MLS history.
