Sullivan replaced Tai Baribo in the 85th minute against the New England Revolution at Subaru Park. With his appearance, Sullivan is now the youngest player in the top-tier North American professional sports organizations.

The Union won the game 5-1 against the Revolution. But the prodigy is now the talk of the soccer world with his huge achievement.
With this out of the way now, the Union can focus on the rest of its schedule. Once the team resumes their schedule following Leagues Cup action, they will have nine games left before the playoffs.
How many of these games will Sullivan play in? We’ll have to wait and see. But one thing is for certain, he is the new record holder for the foreseeable future until someone takes it from him.
