Tai Baribo scored the first hat trick of his career in MLS and the Philadelphia Union ended a 10-game winless streak with a 5-1 drubbing of the New England Revolution on Wednesday night in Chester, Pennsylvania.
But the most important thing in this match, the day and the history of MLS is Cavan Sullivan. The Union player entered the game in the 85th minute to become the youngest player to debut in MLS and in the history of North American professional team sports. Sullivan (14 years, 293 days) passed Freddy Adu (14 years, 306 days) for the MLS record. Adu set him up for DC United in 2004.
“Big congratulations to Cavan Sullivan on his record-breaking debut today,” Adu said in a post on social media X, formerly known as Twitter. “It’s a tough record to beat and the boy did it. Well done and good luck, mate,” he told the very young midfielder, born in Philadelphia.
