Mandatory Credit: Kyle Ross-Imagn Images A two-goal night for Daniel Gazdag and two assists from 20-year-old Quinn Sullivan powered the Philadelphia Union over D.C. United 4-0 Sunday night in Chester, Pa.
With the victory, the Union moved back into ninth place — the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference — with four matches remaining.
Sullivan got the Philadelphia (9-12-9, 36 points) scoring started in the 13th minute by splitting two defenders on the right sideline and running around another to draw in the defense and send a pass across the face of goal. On the other end was Mikael Uhre, who stood undefended for an easy tap-in.
Less than three minutes later, Philadelphia sent in another cross that D.C. (8-13-9, 33 points) initially cut off, but Gazdag sprinted into the box to intercept the subsequent loose ball, shooting from the right side of the 18-yard box into the left-side netting.
In the second half, Sullivan picked up a second assist in 51st minute when the young winger received a pass under pressure, broke away and ran to the endline. Sullivan sent in a cross that Tai Baribo headed into the back of the net, giving Philadelphia a three-goal lead.
Gazdag’s second came when the match was already heavily in the home side’s favor. In the 69th minute, an errant back pass by D.C. United landed at the feet of Baribo, who found a wide-open Gazdag for his second goal of the night and 17th of the season.
Defensively, the Union did well to neutralize the play of D.C. striker Christian Benteke, who entered the match leading the league with 19 goals scored. Benteke had two shots on goal with the Philadelphia defense putting multiple defenders on the goal-scorer all night.
Adding to the positives for the Union was the return of goalkeeper Andre Blake. The three-time MLS Goalkeeper of the Year made his ninth appearance of the season after missing the last two matches with a right leg injury. Blake was key in the victory, saving all five D.C. United shots on goal.
Also returning for Philadelphia was 14-year-old Cavan Sullivan, who entered in the 88th minute. In the third minute of second-half stoppage time, Cavan Sullivan almost scored his first MLS goal, shooting just over the crossbar.

WR Tyreek Hill: 'No power' in left leg after surgeries
Sep 29, 2025; Miami Gardens, Florida, USA; Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill (10) is tended to by medical staff after injuring his leg against the New York Jets during the second half at Hard Rock Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Rich Storry-Imagn Images Free agent wide receiver Tyreek Hill still has “no power” in his surgically repaired left leg, 10 months after undergoing two operations.
The eight-time Pro Bowler and five-time first-team All-Pro selection posted a workout video on YouTube on Wednesday night, updating his recovery from a dislocated left knee and torn ACL sustained in late September last season.
“My left leg is the one that I injured,” said Hill, 32. “I have no power in my left leg, so I’m trying to regain all the power back in my left leg. But it’s one day at a time.”
Hill, who said doctors told him he “might not be able to walk again” after the injury, is seen running and performing a variety of exercises in the video.
With NFL teams starting to report to training camp this week, Hill did not say when he will be ready to get back on the field.
“I ain’t going to tell you what my timeline is, but timeline looking real good right now, man,” Hill said.
The Miami Dolphins released Hill on Feb. 16 in a cost-cutting move after four seasons with the team, making him a free agent for the first time in his career.
Hill caught 21 passes for 265 yards and one touchdown in four games in 2025 before the injury. He has 819 catches for 11,363 yards and 83 TDs in 145 career games for the Kansas City Chiefs (2016-21) and Dolphins (2022-25).
