CHESTER, Pa. (AP) --- Teenager Cavan Sullivan had assists on goals by Bruno
Damiani and Milan Iloski to help the Philadelphia Union extend their
club-record unbeaten streak to 13 with a 2-1 victory over Real Salt Lake on
Saturday night.
Damiani gave Philadelphia (12-10-6) a 1-0 lead in the 31st minute that stood
through halftime with his career-high ninth goal in his second season. Frankie
Westfield joined the 17-year-old Sullivan with an assist.
That is where things stood until Iloski used another assist from Sullivan ---
his 14th in his first full season in the league --- to score in the 82nd minute
for a two-goal advantage. It was the career-high 17th goal for Iloski --- tied
for third most in the league.
Andre Blake finished with three saves and lost his shutout bid when Saba
Lobjanidze scored in the sixth minute of stoppage time.
Luc de Fougerolles and Juan Manuel Sanabria had assists on Lobjanidze's fifth
goal this season and his third in 13 appearances with Real Salt Lake since
coming over from Atlanta United. All three players entered in the second half.
Rafael Cabral saved three shots for Real Salt Lake (9-14-5), which was coming
off a 3-0 home victory over the New England Revolution that ended a club-record
13 match winless streak (0-9-4).
Philadelphia improves to 7-3-4 at home, while RSL falls to 1-10-3 on the road.
The Union went 5-0-0 in September and outscored their opponents 20-5. The club
has gone 11-0-2 during the streak and began the day in sixth place in the
Eastern Conference.
Philadelphia's last loss was a 6-4 setback at Inter Miami on May 24.
