Union Crush D.C. United 6-0 to Seize Control of Supporters' Shield Race

Mikael Uhre's early entrance after Quinn Sullivan's injury transformed the attack, delivering a goal plus two assists.

Overview

  • Inter Miami's 1-1 draw at Toronto earlier Saturday erased its games-in-hand edge, leaving Philadelphia able to clinch the Shield by winning its remaining matches.
  • Indiana Vassilev scored twice, Milan Iloski added a goal with two assists, Bruno Damiani scored, and Uhre contributed a goal plus two assists off the bench.
  • Quinn Sullivan departed in the 13th minute with an injury and Tai Baribo was suspended for yellow-card accumulation, prompting a reshuffle that tilted play down the left.
  • Andre Blake made key first-half saves as the Union weathered early pressure before leading 3-0 at the break and stretching it to 6-0 by the 62nd minute at Audi Field.
  • Already eliminated from playoff contention, D.C. United suffered its worst result under René Weiler, heightening questions about the club's direction.
