Overview
- Danley Jean Jacques broke the scoreless game with an unassisted second-half goal and Cavan Sullivan finished a rebound in the 75th minute to seal a 2-0 win at Subaru Park on Saturday.
- Goalkeeper Andre Blake preserved the lead by saving a Prince Owusu penalty and finished with a clean sheet after making two key saves.
- The Associated Press reported that Sullivan became the first teenager with a goal contribution in five straight matches but that claim has limited independent corroboration.
- The win extended the Union’s unbeaten run under interim coach Ryan Richter, a streak various reports put at eight games, and moved the club provisionally into the Eastern Conference playoff positions.
- CF Montréal struggled to create chances, finishing with few shots on target, and Philadelphia now faces a quick turnaround with a home match against FC Cincinnati that will test whether the current momentum is sustainable.
