What happened: Philadelphia Union midfielder Cavan Sullivan recorded his 14th assist of the 2026 campaign Thursday night, reaching 21 total goal contributions on the season. The play broke the MLS single-season record for a teenager, surpassing the mark of 20 set by Diego Fagundez in 2013.
Why it matters: The milestone adds a league-wide benchmark to a breakout year for Sullivan, who earned his first senior USMNT call-up in September before becoming the national team's youngest scorer earlier this month. His playmaking continues to drive an offense averaging 3.2 goals per match.
By the numbers: Sullivan reached the 21-contribution mark via 14 assists and seven goals while Philadelphia leads Chicago Fire FC 3-1 in live regular-season play.
What to watch: Sullivan has the remainder of the match against Chicago and the closing stretch of the regular season to extend the new teenage record.
