Trio helps Union extend club-record unbeaten streak to 13 with 2-1 victory over Real Salt Lake

On Saturday night, the Philadelphia Union extended their club-record unbeaten streak to 13 matches with a 2-1 victory over Real Salt Lake. Teenager Cavan Sullivan played a crucial role in the victory, providing assists on goals scored by Bruno Damiani and Milan Iloski. Damiani put Philadelphia ahead in the 31st minute, netting his career-high ninth goal of the season in his second year with the club.

His assist led to a goal by 17-year-old Sullivan, who also had an assist in the match. Iloski added a second goal in the 82nd minute, tying for third most in the league with his 17th goal. Andre Blake made 17 saves, but could not secure a shutout as Saba Lobjanidze scored a stoppage-time goal for Real Salt Lake. Luc de Fougerolles and Juan Manuel Sanabria assisted on Lobjanidze's fifth goal this season, his third in 13 appearances with Real Salt Lake.

Rafael Cabral made three saves for Real Salt Lake, which was coming off a 3-0 home win over the New England Revolution, ending a 13-match winless streak. Philadelphia's home record improved to 7-3-4, while Real Salt Lake falls to 1-10-3 on the road. The Union went 5-0-0 in September, outscoring opponents 20-5, and are currently sixth in the Eastern Conference.

Their next match is against the San Jose Earthquakes on Wednesday, while Philadelphia plays at the Chicago Fire on the same day.
