Cavan Sullivan records his first 2-goal game in MLS and the Union cruise past San Diego 5-0
Cavan Sullivan recorded his first two-goal game in Major League Soccer, and he assisted on the third goal to help the Philadelphia Union cruise to a 5-0 victory over San Diego. Philadelphia (9-10-6) is unbeaten in its last 10 matches, with eight victories, since the World Cup break. San Diego (8-11-6) had a four-game home winning streak snapped. Sullivan opened the scoring in first-half stoppage time on a creative back-heel flick that deflected in off the post.
Then Sullivan powered a shot through the legs of goalkeeper Duran Ferree from a difficult angle in the 62nd minute for a 2-0 lead. Sullivan also set up the third goal.
